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.
