March Toward Eternity: a Poem of Collaboration With Ann Foster

All time comes to an end. 
Eternity is a matter discussed quietly among the flawed, 
in an earnest effort to find peace. 
There is none, there never was, in the dead man’s march. 
Only His grace can buy the price of even the most
… unworthy soul.

All that come to know Him, will know Him forever. 
All that say they will not… 
are lying to themselves.
They already know that, too. 

Cognizant of such, we thank God for enabling our faith to know Him 
as the Holy Spirit exposed our sinfulness we did earnestly admit.
Repenting, we trusted Christ to be accepted by the Father 
believing that He won’t cast those who come to Him…
Thus, with His imputed righteousness, we’re now justified
His grace ransomed our worthless souls securing our march toward heaven.

Enjoying vibrant relationship with Him, blissful peace engulfs us
in the midst of a defiled, turbulent world awaiting His judgment...
We reach out to others along love's joy, before time comes to an end
commencing eternity* marked by the Lord's sovereign timetable.

**Isaiah 57:15 For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.
