Holy of Holies

Picture by: Yongsung Kim

Take me back to the Holy of Holies

Let me bask in your infinite grace

Let me see, I am found in your light and love,

Seen in the features of your face.

Do not leave me in my sin

Let your blood wash me clean, Oh Father, restore me again!

There’s no hurt too deep, no pain I can keep when in your presence

Your sweet Spirit recues me.

In the Holy of Holies where it’s only you and me, Lord,

May your Holy-Oil-of-Joy pour over me in peace and harmony.

Time no longer matters; I’m found in the, I Am’s, domain

Jesus; Jesus; Jesus; you and I remain~

Strength, Healing and Hope, these are what I gain, surrendering to your will

Quiet and still in Jesus’ name,

Completely saturated waiting patiently, here, in the Holy of Holies

My spirit, heart and mind they are no longer bound

It’s here, right Now, I am eternally found…

Forever embraced and crowned

With the King of kings and Lord of Lords, in Your Holy Place…

Take me back to the Holy of Holies, Papa God we embrace!

Hebrews 10:19-25

New International Version A Call to Persevere in Faith

¹⁹ Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, ²⁰ by a new and living way opened for us through the curtain, that is, his body, ²¹ and since we have a great priest over the house of God, ²² let us draw near to God with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water. ²³ Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. ²⁴ And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, ²⁵ not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.
