Poem - sweet retreat.

In the chambers of my heart, a guest has come,

A visitor of grace, the Lord of all,

My Savior Jesus, full of mercy and love,

Whose presence within me, my soul doth prove.

Though I am unworthy, He did not depart,

My heart, a vessel, He did not reject,

For in His eyes, I am not unclean,

But a vessel of honor, He did elect.

The door of my heart, I did open wide,

And in His love, I did reside,

He washed away the stain of evil and sin,

And made my heart a temple, where He did win.

Oh, Lord Jesus, my heart's dear guest,

I pray that You will never rest,

For in Your presence, I am blessed,

And with Your love, my soul is fed.

Stay with me, my Lord, forevermore,

And in my heart, Your love will soar,

For with You, my heart is complete,

And in Your love, my soul finds sweet retreat.
