Receive a new body You say Be pulled out of This shell of clay? Never commit another sin Your perfection's glory Eternally to win?
Oh, how I desire to live in Such strengthened faith Allowed each day the details to trace Of God's smiling, most wonderful face Oh the joy to live among the angels wings Hearing crystal clear forever Their praises to you loudly ring Their ecstasy be allowed to capture Standing amidst their increasing rapture Loudly I sigh and deeply long To live within the beauty of Your Paradise’s glorious songs!
Irresistibly drawn To this light Stronger and stronger To this urge I fear I no longer Feel a stranger
Increasing almost Every day Sometimes in More than one way Like a moth to the flame Hearing You speak my name I beat my frail wings Against the thin veil Of this flesh Separating for now You and I Ah at times can Life be quite the test!
Yet today I can just be still At the command of my God's will And enter into His desired rest Which at times I must confess For me is hardly ever easy So for now I will warm my wings As I listen heaven still sings Of the warmth, glory in the light Cascading from Your Wondrous love & might!
I will not listen I do not care So go ahead Spit your ugly words Out into this darkened air
I have a Holy Savior Jesus Christ is His Name You no longer Have the power To cause Him any pain
He now sits enthroned Above this swirling globe For you see All my sin With His royal blood He most joyfully atoned
Today it does not matter How much evil you Spew forth For as my tiny life Winds down Runs out its only course
I choose Christ On Him I set my sights He is the greatest Lover of my small soul Even though You may seek Upon me to take A deadly toll Against HIM You always lose!!
As I grow older I feel myself slipping Away But As I lift my eyes This will suffice In Your Presence To now live Later, To share in Your Eternity’s Paradise!
Simplicity
Just You and me
Sky overhead
That's all I see
Pleasant to exist
