Joy

Looking forward to what’s coming after 
An eternal life, bursting with beauty and laughter 
A life with no pain, no ugliness no shame 
where you’re free to be who you are 
to shine like a star, enveloped in love 

What a day that will be, to finally be free 
Of all the darkness and evil that burden us down 
Leaving behind all the sadness 
all the hurt and the grief 
To take in all His Glory, to sit at my Savior’s feet 
the one who died, Jesus Christ 
He died for me 

But that time is not yet, so I’ll be content 
spending my time, sharing His truth 
Open and honest, for the entire world to see 
See the joy of God’s love, living in me
