Eternal Life Starts Down Here

When Christ comes He'll bring real life 
gone for good, the sting of death.
His power and peace cleanses the strife,
Life eternal with His Holy Breath, 
pluck the day while it is ripe; get engrossed.

All unmerited on our part, 
by Christ the victory is won.
His death and resurrection starts
a journey with the Holy One.
Seize the day, live life from pillar to post.

Life that begins by our free choice
indwelt by His Spirit holy;
we listen daily for His voice
which leads us to gates of glory.
Smell the roses before they become toast.

Heaven is real, I can hardly wait
until our good Lord's will is done.
God's calendar will not be late;
timing revolves around His Son.
Carpe diem, live life to the utmost.
