There's a beautiful
garden awaiting
some day beyond the
blue,
which God has
prepared with
splendor and beauty,
for those, who to
Him, remain true.
The path isn't
smooth or always
lovely
for on this road
there'll be
stumbling blocks,
but the way to
remove them has been
provided
by Jesus Christ, who
is our "Solid Rock."
Stumbling blocks can
be turned into
stepping stones
as we let Jesus be
our Savior and guide
each curve in the
road only brings us
closer
to eternal rest, in
which we shall
forever abide.
There are ruts in
this road which may
hinder
which Satan uses to
try and cause us to
detour,
but if we are wise
to his schemes and
wiles,
we can march on in
victory forward,
without fear.
All along this road
there are deep
valleys
in which we may have
many tears,
but in those valleys
we find God's
comfort,
for His presence is
even more dear.
The road may seem
endless, with it's
struggles
the race may leave
us bruised and
battle scarred,
but the final
destination is worth
each effort,
for in Paradise,
we'll be with our
Blessed Lord.
On this road there
are many who may
look back
though the lights of
home are seen just
ahead,
the trees of life
will bloom
eternally,
by the Lamb of God's
provisions, we'll be
fed.
The signs that read
"caution" won't be
present
when this road ends
at heaven's
paradise,
for there'll be
nothing to harm or
hurt us,
in God's glorious
kingdom of eternal
life.
The path is straight
and narrow
not broad, like that
which leads to
perdition
all those who walk
on this road,
must have a heart of
love and contrition.
Can you imagine what
glory awaits those,
who fight the good
fight of faith?
Where a crown of
eternal life will be
given,
just inside heaven's
pearly gates.
Though this road has
sands like an
hourglass
and we know one day
it shall end,
We'll find at the
end of our journey,
Heaven's paradise
which is free from
strife and sin.
So hold on each day
to the Blessed
Savior
let His hand guide
you safely on,
look ahead to the
promises of our
future,
for we can almost
see our eternal
home.
