Take me in

(original post - 7/28/08 on other blog)

So I was reacquainted with this old favorite in my friend Peggy's car last week on the way to Colorado. This song really spoke to me and reminds me of my journey these last couple of weeks in Kansas City, driving, and then Colorado and now back, it was a beautiful time of intimacy with the lord and his people. I've been desperate for Jesus lately and my soul is desiring to be with Him more and more the last few days. Walking back from lunch today and some time time in prayer I was reminded of my desire for him to take me in. Just a few moments in his presence was the answer to my soul's deepest ache today. So take me in...

Take me past the outer courts

Into the Holy Place

Past the brazen altar
Lord I want to see your face

Pass me by the crowds of people

And the Priests who sing your praise

I hunger and thirst for your righteousness

But it's only found in one place

[Chorus:]
Take me into the holy of holies

Take me in by the blood of the lamb

Take me into the holy of holies

Take the coal, touch my lips, here I am

So take me into the holy of holies

Take me in by the blood of the lamb

Take me into the holy of holies

Take the coal, touch my lips, here I am

One thing I ask of the LORD, this is what I seek:That I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life,To gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple. Psalm 27:4
