UPPER ROOMS AND BASEMENT ROOMS
The upper room experience:
Where the upper most is expressed,
And heavenly views are retold for our living below,
Where overflowing fellowship
Abounds with an holy glow,
O Lord, Your Presence is earthly felt . . .
When we are sacredly blessed!
.
In upper rooms we joyfully sing hymns
With an amazing zest;
In all life’ blessed best, Lord,
You’re there to bestow!
But Lord, my mortal house
Owns a basement, too, You know;
Lord, where are You when I am in my “
"Basement lowest'
And bewilderedly distressed?”
O pilgrim of faith, I reside amid your mountains’ highs;
I feel your “basement’” lowest, even your heartbreaking loss;
I always hear your prayer and rejoice with all your tries?
Mid stormy weather, I am sailing with you in your tempest toss.
Remember traveler, time’ “thorny” tears may fill your eyes,
But know I'm an abiding Presence,
Just look at Calvary's cross!”
t
Brother John
