The World To Come
The World To Come
Try to imagine a world
That will never know death
No more shadow of sin’s curse
No more sickness just health
Beautiful flowers that don’t die
What a glorious sight
No more nasty weeds in the garden
No more rot or blight
Each one builds a home
And lives in it too
Tends grapes in the garden
Everything stays new
No repairs are needed
No white ants to destroy
What’s been built today
Lasts forever to enjoy
Love abounds in this place
No greed or hate
No stealing occurs
What a perfect state
Keys are not needed
To protect our belongings
No covertness exists
No empty longings
A father who loves us
And dwells with us there
Guides us and teaches us
None else can compare
No need to sleep
Because we’ll never be tired
This world to come
Should be so greatly desired!
