Heavenly Hope

So blessed am I to possess heavenly hope* God’s enduring gift enveloping my salvation-scope Securely tied around His blessed eternal life’s rope… Never will I fear death and hell-blinding grope. So privileged am I to enjoy heavenly hope midst hardship God’s exhorting compassion accepting my sincere worship Surely beautified with His offered satisfying friendship… Never will I neglect my stewardship along prayer-fellowship. So fortunate am I to have heavenly hope in my spirituality God’s encouraging promise upholding my faith’s stability Steadfastly anchored upon His Word’s immutability… Never will I abide in doubts’ uncertainty and falsity. So delighted am I to cherish heavenly hope with divine brightness God’s enlightening vision subduing my ignorance and foolishness Sufficiently reflected by His radiating truth of revelation-fullness… Never will I depart from His granted wisdom’s effectiveness. So honoured am I to partake of heavenly hope’s revival God’s empowering miracle transforming my vain survival Strongly fired up thru His might vanquishing my carnal upheaval… Never will I strive toward worldly gain against His approval. So glad am I to share heavenly hope with the lost God’s edifying joy motivating my heart to win souls at all cost Serenely guided along the inspiration of the Holy Ghost… Never will I cease praying for those unreached in the uttermost. So expectant am I to behold heavenly hope and its unfolding God’s exciting coming with His glory that’s worth regarding Sacredly scheduled in His timing with angelic host’s attending… Never will I miss His great kingly reign forever pervading. *Psalm 71:5 For thou art my hope, O Lord GOD: thou art my trust from my youth. Psalm 71:14 But I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee more and more. December 28, 2019 1st place, "SONATA LYRICS" Poetry Contest Sponsored by James Edward Lee Sr.; judged on 4/2/2020.
