I’m slowly beginning to realize...
the weight of eternity.
The scale far beyond our lives.
Measured only by infinities.

Oh what fear is found in emptiness...
For even a jail cell,
in dark, becomes endless.
Even in this world where we dwell.

Imagine all our plagues torn from us-
all our failings and lies.
In the end we will be blameless.
All our crimes will be pulverized.

One point must mark the start.
Else forever can have no meaning.
Living through a change of the heart,
led by the light that is beaming.

Oh what love can be found,
in the city of eternity,
where time is without bound,
and all my loved ones next to me.

I’ll extend my hand to everyone I can,
for no Man is ever worthless.
For where His love began,
was before we could transgress.

A single speaking soul,
with a heart for everyone,
seeing the diamonds in the coal,
wanting them to know the Son.

His country not made in profit,
but selfless love and creation,
is where I will find our true merit,
with Him in His bastion.

No man who makes this promise,
will ever be left behind.
For He is forever anxious,
to meet His beloved mankind.

I will cherish this consanguine bond.
For you and I He bestowed it upon.
