Follow The Light


Longing For A Better Day

 

The longing heart yearns for a better, brighter day,

When the shadows and the mists have all rolled away.

A land of no clouds and where the sky is always blue,

A home of rare beauty that awaits for me and you.

 

No sickness, no death, no weary days of tears and rain,

The joy of that wondrous land we hope soon to be able to gain.

A land of joyous activity, never tired nor ever bored,

A place of endless excitement with no war nor sword.

 

Beautiful flowers are always blooming, song birds not a few,

Joyous music by Heaven's choirs, no songs ever sad or blue.

Wonderful homecoming with family and friends gone on before,

Oh the joy of what awaits us as we enter Heaven's shore.

 

Here we wait, hoping for Christ's soon return,

For that Heavenly land our hearts often yearn.

Soon the trials will be over and our labor will be done,

And we shall rejoice in the love and presence of God's dear son.
