A Place in Your Heart

My doors I opened wide
to welcome You, My Lord;
With garlands of love
I decked Your feet
and incense of faith
suffused the chamber You sat in
while my voice whispered a prayer
" keep me safe, hold me close, Lord".
When I ventured to Your threshold
You kept it shut, no way to enter
No room for me to rest:
What a cruel game You play
for Your pleasure
Or is it love beyond all love
One that breaks me
Shreds me to pieces
For You to pick up
To rebuild as You will
making me worthy
of a place in Your heart.
