Your spirit, O Lord,
has settled inside me
like an owl among the ruins.
Myself a sanctuary
that Your presence redeems.
Hope's feather flutters
softly inside my chest
Your spirit, O Lord,
has settled inside me
like an owl among the ruins
and begun the lifelong work
of my sanctification
Your Word
magnified
upon my skin
Your spirit, O Lord,
has settled inside me
like an owl in its glory.
Myself a sanctuary
that You have made.
