DWELLING

The sky is crystal blue with snow white clouds so gracefully in place.
In its calmness and serenity, the world's pressures appear to be erased.
It is dwelling for the eagle, where his chance to soar with his wings
becomes a sure reality for those who dare to fulfill their dreams.

The mountains stand in majestic awe and the valleys in true humility
and trees stand strong, covered in fruit and the grass as a forest of greenery.
It is dwelling for the birds, where they sing praises to their Maker
Who, before the foundations of the world, is known as the Almighty creator.

Beyond the majestic mountains of awe and the sky so crystal blue
lies a secret place that has been prepared as a fortress and refuge.
It is dwelling for those of us who abide under the shadow of the Almighty
Where praises are sung and dreams are fulfilled through His life-changing glory.
