The Other Side

Through the fires of a sinful life
How can we see the other side?
Satan wishes we would stay this way
That this is how we'll die

But we should know the cross we bear is spent 
Christ was already crucified
We should know in Him we have a friend
In death He cherished all our lives

And God in heaven too will make us new
He's wishing we will stay alive
That free in Him we'll be with Him
Forever on the other side

Kyle, I like your poem of faith, this life is the test, the going sometimes full of pits and curves. Keep the faith and God is waiting for us on the other side in a place of no pain and no tears, blessings

To imagine being free of pain. It's an incentive to not care if we die!!

Amen, Brother. The largest change we see on this side is when we become the new man. But the new man struggles and continues to recognize his need for his savior. Write on.

Sometimes we have to walk through a few flames, but through faith we'll get to the righteous side unscathed.

Been a long time since I read a poem of yours. This is an excellent example of life and how to defeat the evil one.
