Forever! Poem by Michael P. Johnson

Forever! And know what it means
Eternity in Light
When truth’s removed life’s shadowed screens
And death has lost its fight

Wondrous joy, incredible peace
With Jesus hand in hand
To know God’s love will never cease
And truly understand

Blessed is the child who sees these things
The soul, Salvation’s kissed
Who’ll rise one day on eagle wings
Beyond death’s temporary mist

How great to know such awesome grace
To know our Father’s will
To know one day we’ll see His face
And have of love our fill

But until then there’s life to crown
God’s chosen path to tread
To pull the devil’s fortress down
And raise the very dead

For this is what we’re meant to do
One reason why we’re blessed
Chosen to join Salvation’s few
Upon this splendid quest

That others know that others see
That others comprehend
That others walk completely free
With Christ as Lord and Friend

Oh Lord my God anoint Your child
Call others to The Cause
That others may be reconciled
And have their hands in Yours
