The Hereafter

here there is sorrow and fear after there is great peace here some madness sadness day and night after the endless double joy here dying crying with pains after a tearless good morning here wars begun some cease after that none captives set free forevermore here some lost some saved after this all walking the golden path paved here some love and hate repenting forgiving others apathetically apostate after all in perfect love in one accord kneel thanking you for your will here doors open some shut tight after the beautiful gates are open always here some stumble darkly in their own light after some walking clearly to your true light here sin born a thief birthing death after new life begins giving running overflowing here enemies abound even as I frown after with victorious smiles casting their crowns here running patiently by faith the course after it is finished resting in the Amen here some calling on thy name while others sadly don’t won’t to hear Jesus after time no more the name above all is loudly praised by all gladly adored here holy blood cries up from the ground afterward righteously worn whiter than snow Glorious Jesus thy perfect love endures forever what I long for now and hereafter
