A PLACE OF HOPE

Meaning in Psalm 134

Alfred D. Byrd

PRAISES belong to our God, the King,
The One Who made both heavens and earth.
Our God is farther away than stars;
Our God is as near as life itself.
Our God has chosen to live with us.
On heights there sits the house of our God,
A place of meeting, a place of hope.

TO THE HOUSE of God, we've come to serve.
By day and by night, let's raise our hands
In praise for light, in thanks for blessing.
Gratitude aptly answers the King.
Our God is good for being the light;
Our God is good for giving to all
The light, the life, the law, and the love.
Our God remembers; our God is here
To give and receive the fruit of love.
