My Holy House
1. Windows and doors open and close,
Keeping out and letting in,
The dark and the light, wrong and the right.
I decide what enters in .
Things that I choose determine if
I lose all the light that’s within my holy house.
2. Shadowy voice speaks at my door
With many dark things to say.
What should I do?
The Spirit inside tells me I should turn away.
A temple of light with windows clean and bright,
Lights the soul that’s within my holy house.
Mine is a house of holiness, up to me to keep it clean.
My own temple full of love and light,
Where the Spirit stays with me.
I begin to see. Souls in need, knocking so gently;
Hearts to feed. Should I let them into my life?
3. Seeking to help, seeking to care, making a welcome place;
With each kind step, love fills the room,
Granting the Savior’s grace.
A temple of light with windows clean and bright.
Lights the soul that’s within my holy house.
Mine is a house of holiness, up to me to keep it clean.
My own temple full of love and light,
Where the spirit stays with me.
Mine is a house of holiness, up to me to keep it clean;
My t own temple full of love and light
Where the Spirit stays with me, where the Spirit stays with me.
