An Eternal Perspective
The Bible declares for all believers
that when they trust in Jesus Christ alone
assurance that God gives for all eternity
received in heaven always been known
Now here on earth looking at God's church
so many saints seem they're here to stay
they look to be only looking down on earth
thinking this is my home for every day
God needs to awaken us to His truth
that down here this world is not home
there's a greater reward awaiting us above
far above our mind can recite any poem
So we need an eternal perspective
fill our minds and thoughts God be true
to look ahead with eagerness and awe
giving preparation to that day so to do
Let's keep our flame on fire
glowing with light for eternal day
so we won't be caught out here
knowing we're on the upward way
(Looking to heaven and preparing for it.)
