The church we visited today opened with the processional hymn, "Christ Is Alive! Let Christians Sing." The words were written in 1969, sung to the tune of a much older hymn, "Lift Up Your Heads, Ye Mighty Gates". (This link has the music and text for all of the verses of "Lift Up Your Heads.")
Today I thought I would especially meditate upon the third verse. Sometimes it's easy for verses to get lost in these rich hymn texts laden with so much to ponder.
Fling wide the portals of your heart;
Make it a temple, set apart
From earthly use for heaven’s employ,
Adorned with prayer and love and joy.
