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.
*Isaiah 42:13 The LORD shall go forth as a mighty man… he shall prevail against his enemies.
