Notes About The Poem

"Beloved, we are God's children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is."

1 John 3: 2 (ESV)

Behold We Are God's Children - 1 John 3: 2

Behold, we are God's children
All who believe in the risen Christ
can truly say with all their heart
trusting in the Lord Jesus in no small part

This Jesus is our Lord and Saviour
having taken our sins on Calvary's cross
dying the death as our Perfect sacrifice
so our souls are saved, never our loss

In heaven one day we will be made anew
that has not yet appeared, what that'll be
but God promises to bring this about
on that glorious day, this we will see

When Jesus appears, we shall be like Him
for our eyes will see Him, our great King
in His glory and majesty will be displayed
what a moment this indeed will bring

Behold, we are God's children now
this we know the Scriptures declare
we have this on His authority alone
for God has us in His constant care
