I Know a Place

Toward eternity Where life exists yon time Blest immortality Unto heavenly climb Blissful infinity Chants with gratitude chime… Toward God’s abode* Soul reaches by faith Trusting the Saviour Offering grace-gift Packed with love and peace… Toward freedom Spirit does soar Thanking the Lord Who grants pardon… Toward joy Heart delights With brethren… Toward Christ I… Go!
*John 14:1-3 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. Modified Hexaverse with first stanza of 6 syllables each June 4, 2023 4th place, "This or That, Vol 18" Poetry Writing Contest Sponsored by Edward Ibeh; judged on 6/11/2023.
