When Time No More Will Be

 

Due to a disappointing 'drop' I am back to using the phone camera for now...

Another day of grace

Rolls from dawn’s eastward shore

To each and every one of us

Till time will be no more

Till time will be no more

Not one of us can tell

When we will pass through Death’s dark door

Into Heaven or hell

Into Heaven or hell

There is no in between

Therefore, we ought to ponder well

What none on earth have seen

What none on earth have seen

Will fill eternity

How sacred is time’s go-between

God and humanity

God and humanity

Are never far apart

He grants each day of grace to we,

The darlings of his heart

The darlings of His heart

When Time No More will be

Will witness He who hangs His art

Where everyone can see

Where everyone can see

His sky-wide evidence

That the heaven's declare, so we

Cannot plead ignorance

After writing this I read this

today's Daily Bread Devotion!

Stunning.

Though you have not seen him, you love him; 

and even though you do not see him now, 

you believe in him.

 1 Peter 1:8

1 Peter 1:3-9

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! 

In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope

 through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 

 and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. 

This inheritance is kept in heaven for you, 

who through faith are shielded by God’s power until the coming of the salvation

 that is ready to be revealed in the last time. 

 In all this you greatly rejoice, 

though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. 

 These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith—

of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—

may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. 

 Though you have not seen him, you love him; 

and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him 

and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, 

 for you are receiving the end result of your faith, 

the salvation of your souls.
