"Sanctuary" came after meditating on Psalm 73. When we choose to focus on ourselves and our circumstances, and the things in this world, the result is discontent and bitterness. It is not that God is not always good, it is that we miss seeing His goodness when we look only at ourselves. Choosing to enter His presence and to focus our attention on Him makes all the difference in the world. Suddenly His goodness, mercy, and beauty fill our vision and it makes all the difference. I long to stay in that perfect place, His presence, where all I see is Him. (Catherine)
lyrics
Sanctuary
(Psalm 73)
Oh how I miss Your goodness
When I choose to walk away
And let bitterness consume me
Living only for Today
Bridge:
But when I walk into Your presence
All the dark thoughts disappear
Your goodness overwhelms me
Replacing all my fears
CHORUS:
Your beauty fills my vision
Your mercy soothes my soul
You are my Sanctuary
You come and make me whole
Verse 2:
You’re all I want in heaven
You’re all I want on earth
Oh Lord I need Your presence
In You I am secure
