A Special Place

There are many places where you can stay in my Father’s house. I would have told you if that were not true. I must go to make the place ready for you. After I have prepared for your arrival, I will come back for you so we can be there together. — John 14:2–3 The Discussion Bible

In my Father’s house, there’s room to spare,
With cozy little places here and there.
If this weren’t true, I’d tell you so—
But I must leave. I have to go.

I’m off to make your room just right,
With perfect views and soft delight.
I’ll set it up and make it new,
A special place prepared for you.

And when it’s done, I’ll come again,
To bring you home, my dearest friend.
We’ll be together, side by side,
Forever there, with arms open wide.
