Beyond Tomorrow and the Future

Beyond tomorrow and the future, we behold God’s love that greatly prevails* With His compassionate omnipotence everyone hails Subduing destructive hatred which sorely ails For caring jubilation’s cheers against apathy-bitterness’ wails. Beyond tomorrow and the future, God’s peace is seen reigning Assuring us, His children, whose faith in Christ is leaning Conquering our fearful hearts with serenity-gaining Since doubts over us can never be winning. Beyond tomorrow and the future, thanksgiving shouts are heard decreed While we worship the Lord joyously, unmindful of time to exceed Sin-slavery He’s vanquished to meet every soul’s need Satisfaction-testimonies abound; neither about discontentment nor greed. Beyond tomorrow and the future, triumph is tasted midst the Creator’s bounty Dispelling hardships causing despair, anguish and anxiety His help enables us to be diligent, fighting penury and poverty Enriching us with labor’s fruits of productivity. Beyond tomorrow and the future, the Saviour’s guidance keeps us settled Leading us to His perfect will where we are safely handled His wisdom directs us against being deceived and rattled Thus, we overcome struggles tenaciously when embattled. Beyond tomorrow and the future, we feel the Almighty's wondrous presence Verily glorious, putting to shame our selfish goals of no value and sense We then experience excellence along noble persistence Against humiliation caused by worldliness’ vain insistence. Beyond tomorrow and the future, we listen to our Master Who’s perfectly right His voice is music to our ears as we show commitment-lights bright Empowering us to be blessings with our good works’ might As with servants’ hearts, we praise Him with gratitude’s delight.
