Desired Dwelling

"This is My rest forever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it" (Psalm 132:14). "And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself shall be with them, and be their God" (Revelation 21:3).

Where is the place that the Lord God will dwell?
What is His answer from Scripture inspired?
Behold, in the midst of those ransomed from hell:
This is His dwelling that He has desired!

Astonishing answer! Amazing selection,
That God has thus chosen to make us His rest
And dwell with the sinners He brings to perfection,
Forever redeemed and eternally blest!

O Lord, we give thanks for Your marvelous grace
That lifts us to dwell in Your presence above!
How great is Your mercy preparing a place
Where we shall forever rejoice in Your love!
