The Holy City Poem by Marilyn Lott

There is a beautiful Holy City
In the Wichita Wildlife refuge
You wouldn’t believe the beauty
Of the stones of granite that are used

Over one hundred acres as backdrop
For an Easter passion play
It is really so exceptional
And is performed for Easter Day.

I feel so close to God
As I sit in this sacred church
I close my eyes and pray
As though it were my first

For this is a refuge also
For lost souls to find their God
To open their hearts with love
On blessed cherished sod

It’s like being transformed to heaven
To God’s treasured special place
Yes, I feel my sins, my problems
Will leave me without haste

If you can visit this Holy City
You’ll feel God is close to you
A church to worship for Easter
A place so sacred and true!
