I Want to be There – Psalm 24
I want to be there Lord,
to be counted as worthy,
amongst the faithful,
with those who have followed you
and lived life your way.
I want to be one of them,
a saint for you,
doing what you ask,
living as you would.
May I stand in your presence,
know your blessing.
Lord I long for you,
cleanse my heart,
my hands,
my life,
that I may draw near.
Psalm 24 (CEV)
(A psalm by David.)
Who Can Enter the Lord’s Temple?
24 The earth and everything on it
belong to the Lord.
The world and its people
belong to him.
2 The Lord placed it all
on the oceans and rivers.
3 Who may climb the Lord’s hill
or stand in his holy temple?
4 Only those who do right
for the right reasons,
and don’t worship idols
or tell lies under oath.
5 The Lord God, who saves them,
will bless and reward them,
6 because they worship and serve
the God of Jacob.
7 Open the ancient gates,
so that the glorious king
may come in.
8 Who is this glorious king?
He is our Lord, a strong
and mighty warrior.
9 Open the ancient gates,
so that the glorious king
may come in.
10 Who is this glorious king?
He is our Lord,
the All-Powerful!
