To be


1 Timothy 6:6 

6 Now godliness with contentment is great gain.

 To be

 

There is a place pertaining

to the life we are gaining

that at the times when it’s raining

it is the only place to be

 

For when security is threatened

and uncertainty is fattened

and hopes seem to be flattened

it is the only place to be

 

When life's pressure increases

and it crashes and breaks us to pieces

when our breath within us ceases

it is the place we need to be

 

In the arms which in love will keep us

Close to the Heart that loves us

Against the Breast that secures us

In Christ is the place to be
