LORD FILL THIS TEMPLE

Lord fill this temple with songs of praise;
Cause my heart to soar with you again;
Let your glory rise and shine, I pray,
In this temple, your dwelling place.

Songs of deliverance,
Songs of life;
Release your freedom, Lord:
Pour in your light.
Unlock my heart,
Reveal your grace;
Come fill me now
With songs of praise.

I am your temple of living stone;
I am your dwelling place, and yours alone;
From this altar not made with hands,
Let your glory shine on this land.

Songs of deliverance,
Songs of life;
Release your freedom, Lord:
Pour in your light.
Unlock my heart,
Reveal your grace;
Come fill me now
With songs of praise.

You are our Rock, from which we're hewn;
Cornerstone, we stand secure;
Break our chains, transfix our gaze;
Set us free in highest praise.

Songs of deliverance,
Songs of life;
Release your freedom, Lord:
Pour in your light.
Unlock my heart,
Reveal your grace;
Come fill me now
With songs of praise.

1 Corinthians 6:19-20

New International Version (NIV)

¹⁹ Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; ²⁰ you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.

 

Isaiah 51:1-3

New International Version (NIV)

Everlasting Salvation for Zion

¹ “Listen to me, you who pursue righteousness and who seek the LORD:
Look to the rock from which you were cut and to the quarry from which you were hewn;
² look to Abraham, your father, and to Sarah, who gave you birth.
When I called him he was only one man, and I blessed him and made him many.
³ The LORD will surely comfort Zion and will look with compassion on all her ruins;
he will make her deserts like Eden, her wastelands like the garden of the LORD.
Joy and gladness will be found in her, thanksgiving and the sound of singing.

 

Isaiah 28:16

New International Version (NIV)

¹⁶ So this is what the Sovereign LORD says:
“See, I lay a stone in Zion, a tested stone, a precious cornerstone for a sure foundation;
the one who relies on it will never be stricken with panic.

Psalm 32:7

New International Version (NIV)

⁷ You are my hiding place;
you will protect me from trouble
and surround me with songs of deliverance.
