| Song of Hope |
|
On the shoreline of Eternity, There, by the Crystal Sea; Hope waits, arrayed in brilliance, Always beckoning to me. If you listen, you can hear her song Encouraging all to come. It speaks of strongest faith and love. A perfect life is done. She tells us when we think not; Her ways will still be true, While we are conquered in cocoons She waits for me and you. One day, the inner man grows strong. He splits the threads which hold. A Spirit sings its freedom, Whether young or very old. At last, we break free from the shell. At last, our wings are seen! At last, we can be all that our Creator Meant for us to be! No worldly weights, no hindrances, No hanging back allowed; But only just believe His Word. We see it clearly, now! And, Hope is satisfied to know Her destiny is done, When we walk by and enter in - Won by Precious One! |
