And Solomon said, "Now it was in the heart of my
father David to build a house for the name of the
LORD God of Israel. But the LORD said to my
father David, ’Whereas it was in your heart to build
a house for My name, you did well that it was in
your heart’." 1 Ki.8:17-18

Intentions

David really loved You, Lord,
dreamed of the glittering Temple he would build
in honour of Your name:
You’d other plans, but loved his motive !
I’m grateful, Lord, that what You see
is not my failed attempts,
but what is in my heart to bring You,
my God and King.
