This was the very first song that God gave me, 21 years ago. (The full story of the song is here: katiempeters.com/this-place-st...) I don't believe it's a coincidence that it's being released now, in August of 2023. This is a song for now, for all those who answer the call to seek the heart of God. God has always been calling people to seek Him and know Him, but the call is echoing louder and louder this summer.
In Luke 14:15, Jesus told how there were those who would miss out on the banquet in His presence because they were too busy.
I know what it's like to be too busy, and God in His magnificent grace stepped into my life and brought down the things that were keeping me too busy. He met me where I was at and showed me how to really spend time with Him, and oh how my life has changed!
Know this: If you are hearing God call your name to seek His face, then He has grace available to you--the grace that will enable you to lay down the things that are stealing the time in your life that was meant for Him. All He needs is your willingness. He doesn't need you to figure out how to do it. He needs you to be willing to do whatever He asks, and He will do the rest. Let go of whatever you're holding onto, and hold onto Him instead. He'll test your heart, and He might ask You to make hard decisions, but I promise you that what He'll give you in return is far more than anything He'll ask you to surrender!
This song is for those who answer the call.

"This Place"
Words and music: Katie M. Peters
There's a place of wonder, glory indescribable
Beyond my wildest dreams
It's a place of beauty, where the Lord of Heaven
Wants to fellowship with me
You have opened the gates of Your presence to me
I can always draw near to Your throne
Where Your whispers of love fill my heart once again
Draw me close, never go
Here in this place, here I am changed, Savior
When I'm touched by Your glory, in awe of Your splendor
Then all I desire is You
You are my Way, You are my Truth, Jesus
Standing here in Your presence, I'm filled with amazement
By the infinite wonder of You
When I'm in Your presence, and I see Your power
And Your light shines on my face
And I try to fathom that the Lord of Heaven
Chose to suffer in my place
Then Your arms enfold me, my fears fade away
My desires all turn into one
That the beat of Your heart would envelop my soul
Hold me close, don't let me go
Here in this place, here I am changed, Savior
When I'm touched by Your glory, in awe of Your splendor
Then all I desire is You
You are my Way, You are my Truth, Jesus
Standing here in Your presence, I'm filled with amazement
By the infinite wonder of You
You call my name to seek Your face
And You take me as Your own
Transform my life, open my eyes
'Till my heart is wholly Yours
Here in this place, here I am changed, Savior
When I'm touched by Your glory, in awe of Your splendor
Then all I desire is You
You are my Way, You are my Truth, Jesus
Standing here in Your presence, I'm filled with amazement
Just a glimpse of Your glory's beyond comprehension
Standing here in Your presence, I'm filled with amazement
By the infinite wonder of You
Oh the infinite wonder of You
