Revelation 21:4

 

I Long To Dwell ~

I long to dwell,
in eternal peace . . .
where fear and death
will forever cease.

Where things are seen,
through tearless eyes
where joyous shouts
are the only cries.

I long to dwell,
on the other side
where with God
believer’s reside.

Where sorrow stops,
as mourning ends
to spend eternity
with my forever Friend.

I long to dwell,
far from this place
where tears no longer
stream down our face!

~~~~~~~~~~

Revelation 21:4

And God shall wipe away all tears
from their eyes; and there shall
be no more death, neither sorrow,
nor crying, neither shall there
be any more pain: for the former
things are passed away.

A World Full of Sorrow ~

A world full of sorrow,
heartbreak and grief
one day to it . . .
Jesus will bring relief.

Tears will no longer,
from eyes ebb and flow
nor will there be heard
cries of regret’s woe.

Pain will be defeated,
death will be no more
when Jesus returns
for His meek and poor.

All things will be new,
the former things gone
when the reins to world
Jesus at last takes on.

A world full of sorrow,
will soon one day cease
to a new heaven and earth
filled with God’s joy and peace!

~~~~~~~~~~

Revelation 21:4

And God shall wipe away
all tears from their eyes;
and there shall be no more death,
neither sorrow, nor crying,
neither shall there be any more pain:
for the former things are passed away.

Beyond The Cross ~

Beyond the cross,
there’s a glorious view
for in Jesus’ death . . .
all things are made new.

New beginnings,
fresh clean starts
eternal hope
to fill our hearts.

Beyond the cross,
there is new life
the end to sin
and worldly strife.

No more battles,
no more struggles
no more satan
causing troubles.

Beyond the cross,
there are no fears
no death, no pain
and no more tears.

Despair will end,
suffering will cease
there will only be
everlasting peace.

Beyond the cross,
hope springs anew
all because Jesus . . .
died for me and you!

~~~~~~~~~

Hebrews 12:2

“Looking unto Jesus
the author and finisher of our faith;
who for the joy that was set
before him endured the cross,
despising the shame,
and is set down at the
right hand of the throne of God.”

I Have A Vision ~

 

I have a vision,
of better days . . .
it’s full of glory
worship and praise.

I can see faces,
filled not with fear
eyes that no longer
hold a single tear.

I can see hearts,
flowing with grace
I can see saints
who braved the race.

I can see souls,
no longer in pain
I can see where death
has given up its reign.

I have a vision,
where all things are new
whenever heaven . . .
comes into my view!

With Jesus At Last ~

I know up in heaven,
there’ll be no more tears
painful moans and groans
will turn to joyful cheers.

Death will be defeated,
grief will finally cease
broken souls will be filled
with God’s eternal peace.

Cries will be heard no more,
only singing and praise
to our heavenly Father
and the Son that He raised.

Sorrow and heartache,
will no more be heard of
for there up in heaven
there’ll only be God’s love.

I know up in heaven,
former things will have passed
and the best part about it . . . .
is being with Jesus at last!

One Day In Heaven ~

One day in heaven,
we will have perfect rest
when with eternal life
we are finally blessed.

We’ll have rest from heartache,
from our every sorrow
rest from our labor
the worries of tomorrow.

We’ll have rest from pain,
every disease and illness
rest from death and dying
our own spiritual sickness.

We’ll have rest from suffering,
from all that causes stress
rest from our despair
our cares that hard press.

One day in heaven,
with peace we’ll be blessed
when with Jesus . . .
we eternally come to rest!

soon it will be
when pain no longer
will our eyes see.

Our King is coming,

no more sounds of sobs
from broken heart’s crying.

Our King is coming,
all things will be new
oh, what joy there will be
for me and for you!

I’ve Got This Inkling ~

Oh, Lord I’m waiting,
for that glorious day
when You will return
to take our pain away.

I am anticipating,
that trumpet blowing
to see no more tears
from our eyes flowing.

Oh, Lord I’m ready,
for no more sorrow
I am anxious to see
our new tomorrow.

I am expecting,
to witness the passing
of the former things
that were never lasting.

Oh, Lord I am waiting,
I’ve got this inkling
that very soon . . .
I’ll see that twinkling!

One Day Soon ~

One day with the Lord,
we will forever be . . .
one day our tears
we’ll never again see.

One day death,
God will banish
one day our grief
will but, vanish.

One day sadness,
joy will replace
one day our cries
mercy will erase.

One day our pain,
will no longer dismay
one day the old things
will just pass away.

One day soon Lord,
all will be made new
when on the day . .
we come home to You!

Can You Imagine ~

Can you imagine,
a world without tears
void of the darkness
that fuels human fears?

Can you imagine,
a world without sorrow
empty of the anguished
heartache of tomorrow?

Can you imagine,
a world without evil
gone the trepidation
from terror’s upheaval?

Can you imagine,
a world without hate
free from animosity
the need to retaliate?

Can you imagine,
a world without fears
can you imagine the day . . .
God wipes away all tears?

My Kind of Hope ~

My hope is built on,
things I cannot see . . .
not on the troubles
today, surrounding me.

On them I don’t focus,
I’m looking forward to
the day God’s glory . . .
comes shinning  thru.

Today’s sufferings,
don’t compare to the day
when everyone’s tears . . .
will all be wiped away.

I’m eagerly awaiting,
for Jesus to return
when for this world . . .
I’ll haven’t one concern.

My hope is built on,
things I cannot see
especially the day  . . .
Jesus comes for me!

“Now faith is
the substance of things
hoped for,
the evidence of things
not seen.”

Just A Glimpse ~

Lord, give me just a glimpse,
of how heaven’s going to be
let me peek into the room
You have reserved for me.

Let me see the streets,
paved with forever peace
let me gaze upon the path
where grief will finally cease.

Lord, give me just a glimpse,
into the land of no more fear
let me glance into the Light
that’ll dry each and every tear.

Let me see the pathway,
where You’ll walk with me
let me have a quick look
where sorrow I’ll not see.

Lord, give me just a glimpse,
part the clouds so I can see
my family and my friends
who are waiting there for me.

Let me see Your mansion,
the glory of Your throne
Lord, give me just a glimpse
into ~ my eternal home!
