Hymn: a Life Beyond
Beyond life's span how might we be?
Where would eternal life be found?
What will it mean for you and me,
with all to whom in love we're bound?
Imagination's upward climb
may scan and search horizons vast –
beyond all distance, mass and time.
How will we feel when death has passed?
At one in all we've ever met,
to know the hurts and wrongs of life;
will we feel burdened by regret
and anguished in eternal strife?
In Jesus Christ may we abide,
his healing touch puts all to right.
So reconciled with all who've died
we'll be at one in our delight.
Enfolded in our God's embrace
at peace, with laughs and joys to share,
we shall be held by Christ with grace
to dwell in love and beauty there.
