The Upper Room Poem by Royston Allen

There is a special room set apart and blessed
a holy place and sanctuary where we can rest.
We enter in protected from this worlds care
and sweet communion with the Lord we share.

It is a place where our souls can come in sanctity
a meeting place where we can open and honest be.
A place of tears and a place where we worship You.
There deep searching things can be worked through.

'Come to me, Roy and Dorothy', You say
as burdened with sorrow and care we make our way
to that Holy meeting place of solitude and peace
and commune with You to find blessed release.

The tests of this life can take its toll upon us Lord
and battered and bruised we turn to Your word.
It is so good to retire to that room upstairs awhile
and pour out our soul and to You see Your smile.

Thank You, Jesus for such a blessed place as this
where we can experience again Your heavenly kiss.
Resting in Your presence and feeling Your embrace
strengthened once more for the challenges we face.
