341 Blessed Be Your Name - M. Redman/B. Redman

Saw this poem in the newspaper today by a Secondary School 2 student, Genevieve Narciso, from Fairfield Methodist Secondary School.
My little sanctuary
keeps me safe from the world of tough situations
which forces you to lay down and curl
My little sanctuary
keeps me warm and tight
from the hollering winds to the depths of the night
My little sanctuary
keeps me sheltered and protected
when bad times uncover and when I feel so dejected
My little sanctuary
a good place to cry
when the world shuts in front of you and makes you want to die
My little sanctuary
Oh gracious place to be
My little sanctuary
is Jesus;
the Man who died for you and me!
keeps me safe from the world of tough situations
which forces you to lay down and curl
My little sanctuary
keeps me warm and tight
from the hollering winds to the depths of the night
My little sanctuary
keeps me sheltered and protected
when bad times uncover and when I feel so dejected
My little sanctuary
a good place to cry
when the world shuts in front of you and makes you want to die
My little sanctuary
Oh gracious place to be
My little sanctuary
is Jesus;
the Man who died for you and me!
Hmm.. What a wonderful poem from a teenager. It goes to show that although growing up is not easy, teenagers can still thirst and hunger for God! What a joy to hear that!
Oh God, raise up a generation that seeks Your face, Oh God of Jacob!
[But a little amendment I would like to make to the poem. Jesus is not a little sanctuary. He is a sanctuary with no borders. He is mighty to save!]
