Story behind the song
As we approached the completion of our church (Full Gospel Tabernacle) building in year 2002, I deeply wanted to write a song for our dedication service. Over the years, I have captured most of our important history with a song and this was one event I did not want to miss. We had labored hard to build our RM 7 million (USD 1.85 million) facility. I wrote several draft songs and threw them all away as I knew they were not what God wanted. Finally, when I wrote this song, I saw a vision of people on their knees praying at FGT's new sanctuary. And I knew that this was the song God wanted. Amazingly, when Pastor Hock Huat chaired the first meeting in our new building , he got the members to kneel down and pray as they sang this song. When our Sr. Pastor. Hong Seng shared his first sermon in the building, he shared that God wanted to make FGT a house of prayer.
Lyrics
Make my heart Your resting place Where you will find Brokeness, A contrite heart I'm on my knees, A broken vessel Make my heart, Make my heart Make my heart Your resting place Verse 2 Make my heart Your resting place Where you will find, Purity and righteousness I'm on my knees, A broken vessel Make my heart, Make my heart Make my heart Your resting place. Chorus Your eyes are searching to and fro For broken hearts who'll bow their knees and pray Will You find it in this place ? Your eyes are searching to and fro For broken hearts who'll weep and seek Your face And I pray, You'll find it here Verse 3 Make this house Your resting place Where you will find Brokeness and contrite hearts We're on our knees, We're broken vessels Make this house, Make this house Make this house Your resting place
