Self of mine, blest by the Lord so gracious
may you find yourself gratefully joyous
as well as worshipfully victorious
optimizing breath’s worth, indeed precious.
Assured with life eternal as Christ’s gift
you’re privileged toward celestial lift
having been reached-out from transgression drift
for divine transformation’s wondrous shift.
Through your faith in the Saviour, you’re now freed
to serve gladly for His glory indeed
against selfish entanglements and greed
overcoming lure of worldly stardom breed.
Prevailing in your spiritual nature
blended well with mercy and truth’s feature
faithful, steadfast in Holy Ghost’s venture
be fruitful in your compassion-gesture.
Awaiting commendation for works’ best
stay humble in the Master’s powered nest
yielded to His will midst surrender-zest
while getting near temporal journey’s rest.
See you, dear self of mine in heaven’s bliss
where great miracles we can reminisce
and savor grand fellowship, not to miss
forever* praising GOD with Brod and Sis.
*Revelation 22:5 And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.
