Heaven's Waiting

He sent the light into the world Providing a way to immortality Creating a peace that is like a dream Fulfilling the heart’s deepest desires With the miracle of God’s Son The way, the truth, the life The leader of hope, faith and love The answer to prayer for peace The kindness, joy and honesty The way to the soul’s victory Because He died there on Calvary Rose again on the third day To bring hope of a heavenly eternity He sent His Son down to our world Deliverance, Salvation and Redemption Bringing us the promise of forever There in a heavenly home with Him The One who gave us a way to live With assurance that we would someday be Given a home there in heaven’s palace Filling our hearts with compassion and peace Showing us mercy that leads to the belief That He will always hold our hearts and souls In His grasp, where we can be sure that Love will abide there on the inside, forever Always promising to bring assurance to our spirit That God is there with us, always providing grace To color our hopes in compassion and our dreams In the light of a peace that passeth all understanding With Him, there is victory and the promise of a forever ~ eternity spent in heaven where we can be Loved by a Savior who gave up everything to bring Us up to heaven, where we will be living eternally This is immortality and the victory is there with Him The One who holds my heart and soul in His palm And gives me the hope to make it through this world And onto heaven where I’ll know Him more surely Than I can know my own soul which He always holds With Jesus, there is the assurance that eternity Brings with it… love that survives the worst there is Love that lives and gives and forgives every hurt With Jesus, there is a home up above that provides All the joy, peace and love I could ever hope to need IMMORTALITY YES OR NO Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Chantelle Anne Cooke July 17, 2021
