I wrote this in 2016 while contemplating the reality of heaven. Now, with my Susan gone, I think about heaven a bit more often. 'Some day I shall be like HIM'.
Heavenward (Melody: Verse of 'At the Cross'
I believe, above, there is a land,
Far from the toils of life.
A place where love and peace does reign,
No tears, no quarrels, no strife!
A place that has been set aside,
for saints and sinners too.
Who've had their sins forgiven by,
The One whose life is true.
It is eternal, lasting, real,
Where Christ has built our home.
In mansions fair, we will abide,
No more to wildly roam.
Tis' heaven, this place that Christ does live,
and we shall live with Him.
For all eternity we'll sing,
Our praises to our King!
This all is very real, you know,
Were it not, He would have told.
This promise is for you, for me,
for all who join the fold.
What Glory waits, what light doth shine,
upon the holy hill, where God doth sit, His
arms outstretched, for this, His blood did
spill!
(Gary Laws, 2016)
