Habitation

What does God desire?

What does God require?

But true communion

And true union

Becoming ONE

In His Son

Who builds a HABITATION

Among the nations

A holy relation

With the God of creation

Lively stones

Built together as His home

He went away

He did say

To prepare a place

A set apart space

For us to dwell

So, He explained, "All is well."

But that was only half the story

It gets better, never boring!

He said, "I will build My qahal

As though Adam never did fall.

A place for Us (Elohim) to dwell

A living tabernacle and well

That never runs dry

And she doesn't even have to try

Cause We (Elohim) will fill her

And instill her

With Our very essence

And she will carry our presence."

That's the other half of the story

I told you it never gets boring

We need not wait

For some appointed day

Our time is now

It's time to live out loud

The vision of Heaven

The perpetual day called Seven

Enter His rest

Experience His best

And never less

Than HABITATION

As His set apart nation

Cause that's what God desires

And that's what God requires

True communion

And true union

Becoming ONE in the Son

Who builds a HABITATION

Among the nations

One lively stone upon another

Building up our sisters and brothers

Regardless of apparent differences

Tear down the fences

Let go defenses

It's time to build

It's time to be filled

With God's essence

And presence

As one holy HABITATION

And one holy nation

Built up to reveal glory

And proclaim redemption's story

Christ revealed IN a people

Christ manifested THROUGH a people

No more man made steeples

But a city built by Christ alone

And a people become God's home!
