This poem was inspired by Psalm 84 and the contemporary worship song derived from it; it’s one of my favorites from growing up.<\/p>\n
\u201cOne Day in Your House\u201d (#36)<\/p>\n
Lord, how I long for Your peace in this world of toil and strife.
\nLord Jesus, please bring your incomprehensible peace when my soul is troubled in this life.
\nCome to my heart and fellowship with me; bring Your presence and stay
\nWith me always. I would rather be with You than do anything else any day.
\nI say this because I know that only You truly satisfy
\nAll who come looking for You-and here is the reason why:
\nThere is a void in every human heart that nothing in this world can fill.
\nNothing can replace the presence of God-no alcohol, drug, or pill.
\nSo we should be seeking You, and upon You cast all our cares;
\nAs David said, \u201cBetter is one day in Your presence than a thousand elsewhere.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
