Wondrous Life Eternal
Assured by the Lord with wondrous life eternal
my spirit basks gratefully in divine freedom.
Here am I led as a lamb toward green pastures
restored by my Shepherd beside the still waters
from pricking angst of rocky hurdles up faith’s hill
while surmounting slime pits lurking for downfall grief.
Toward worship bliss, I come to God’s glorious light
serenely iridescent, granting pardon glow
offering love, purifying heart’s sin-disease
for joyous reaching-out, breaking selfishness’ chains.
Thus, midst this earthy existence, indeed grace-filled
my soul delights in the Saviour’s revival grant
awaiting His second advent so majestic
that affirms prophecies magnifying His Word
for His believers to dwell with Him forever
In His fully garnished New Heaven and New Earth*.
Revelation 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
