Until Then
Dear Lord, while we are still down here, please be ever with us…until then.
The time will come when we’ll never sleep
and ‘You’ will encompass our every view…
where at every turn, we’ll be so aware
of Your Audacious Love…layering like dew.
The time will come when the very atmosphere
will swathe us with Your joyous delight…
as amid chords of praiseful songs
wings fluttering softly…take flight.
Time will come…Your perfect tranquility
will never take a reprieve
in that prepared lavish place...
that will stand eternally…without trace of grieve.
But, until then, O God…
we beg You, keep us strong.
Until then, Yahweh…
let us not forget to whom we belong.
Until then, Father…
we implore Thee, please …hold us tight…
‘til…our souls know no more darkness
and our days know no more night.
Carry us over the raging floods of rancor
be the hope…we so often discard
secure us through this hard life with anchor
Lord, be the assurance we sometimes dodge.
Renew our battered faith
be that…peace…we do not comprehend
cheer us on as we run this race…
Dear Jesus…! be e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g we need…Until Then.
EPHES 6:10-18, PHIL 4:6-7
