A Glorious Future

Categories: Future

I feel that I am unravelling
Thread by thread falling apart
But that is only my body
For there’s nothing wrong with my heart.

By heart I don’t mean the one that pumps
The blood around my body
I mean the innermost part of me
Sometimes called spirituality.

My spirit is far more important
Than my body which is fading away
Whereas the spirit is the part of me
That will enjoy an eternal day.

For when this body eventually dies
And lies buried in the earth
My God-breathed spirit will return to Him
In a wonderful form of rebirth.

God’s promised me a body like His
When I shall meet Him face to face
Yet it’s by absolutely nothing I’ve done
But by His wondrous love, power and grace.

So all I can say now is thank you
Thank you Father for so loving me
I look forward to spending my time with you
Throughout a glorious eternity.
