“My Heart Is a Holy PlaceMy heart is a holy placeWiser and holier than I know it to beWiser than my lips can speakA spring of mystery and grace.You have created my heartAnd have filled it with things of wonder.You have sculpted it, shaped it with your handsTouched it with your breath.In its own season it reveals itself to me.It shows me rivers of goldFlowing in eleganceAnd hidden paths of infinite beauty.You touch me with your stillness as I await its time.You have made it a dwelling place of richness and intricaciesOf wisdom beyond my understandingOf grace and mysteries, from your hands.”
