Preparing For Eternal Victory

This world is a wilderness so dark and desolate with poverty death and uncertainty running Christless to it's judgement date This world promises so much castles and groves and music sweet charms dissolves the vision dies waking to delusion's cheat Let us escape this world so to enjoy peace of soul this be done by trust in God absolute surrender our goal So cast our burdens on Him living under shadow of His wing believing powerfully on the Lord staying close to our heavenly King poetgord@2013 (based on 'when we awake in glory', a letter written by John Newton (writer of amazing grace) to a Miss P , august 17, 1767.)

I really enjoyed reading this. Newton has been an inspiration for many poets/poems through the years.... This is well done.... I have posted many spiritually inspired poems... I think you'll find some you will enjoy..... Jake
