Sanctuary of My Soul

Shut up the windows of my soul,

He is already waiting.

We abide in this sacred place.

Together.

I am safe.

I am loved.

I AM tells me who I am...

I am enough in His eyes.

I am beautiful, I am special, I am chosen, I am set apart, I am cherished.

This is our secret place...

The sanctuary of my soul.

Doubt, shame, fear, regret, less than...memories that haunt—these are the shadows I must chase away.

They are not welcome.

Shut up the windows of my soul...

Light streams in.

The brightest, purest rays pour down through cathedral windows, tall and beautiful.

Sit and stay a while.

Remind me again of who I am.

Show me the person I hope to see.

To see me through Your eyes, if just for a moment.

A glimpse of glory.

A flicker of wholeness.

A whisper of strength.

A beautiful moment where time stands still.

And I can face the day again.

Unafraid.
