And for you giving to me this dwelling place,

You have opened my eyes and caused me to see,

A place in you that brings perfect liberty,

A freedom from sin and the cares of this life,

Free to love others without grudges or strife,

If in this great freedom my soul doth abide,

Then when you return I'll not want to hide,

I'll be longing to look upon your precious face,

So Thankful, Dear Lord, for your mercy and grace.
