THERE IN HEAVEN
“And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.” Revelation 21:23 of the King James Bible
Streets of gold
welcome glorified bodies
yon unclouded firmament.
Transparent glass
of serenely crystal water
serves as mirror to saints
in their spotless robes.
Succulent twelve kinds of fruits
from the tree of life
await spirited believers.
Around fortress of gem stones
having pearly gates exuding flawless wealth
upon foundations garnished with precious jewels
there the grateful worshippers forever are secured.
Possessors of radiant eternal life
exalt the omnipotent Lord God
Who shines with His Alpha and Omega glory.
