Praise God for Heavenly Hope

Life is short at its very best,
God help each of us to stand the test.
Death comes soon without a warning,
For God's saints, it is Joy in the Morning.

The Lord is coming for all of His own,
To take us to our Heavenly home.
So let us live holy and be right with God,
For soon our feet shall leave earth's sod.

For those who believe He will save every one,
Because god loves us and sent His only begotten Son.
One day we will breathe our final breath,
And close our eyes in physical death.

But, the soul and the spirit do not die,
They will live forever in God's sweet by and by.
In Heaven or in hell, which for you will it be?
What we choose will be for all time and eternity.

Great are God's promises, Great is His love,
Great is the promise of Heaven above.
This world is but a dressing place,
To get ready for God's heavenly space.
