Homeward
Bound
By Kenneth L.
Birks
As pilgrims,
marching forward, for the eternal city,
we look.
Believing in
Christ, our names are written in His
book.
Leaving
temporary things behind, we press
forward.
Looking for
the city, whose maker is God, we’re
rewarded.
With the
Invisible kingdom in view, we’re
transported.
The
sacrificial Lamb given; the way is
cleared to His throne.
Discovering
the path, He shows the way to our
eternal home.
Giving
ourselves to His sacrifice, the path we
uncover.
Believing in
His Son, Jesus, the gateway, we
discover.
Giving
thanks, He reveals the beauty of our
eternal home.
Clothed in
majesty, He comes to set up His throne.
With promises
fulfilled, He prepares a place to be
shown.
With eyes and
ears seeing and hearing, beauty awaits.
According to
our desires, the Great Architect
mandates.
Clothed with
new celestial bodies, we reign in the
unknown.
With the
sting of death removed, we rejoice
forevermore.
In healing
waters, without pain or sorrow, we
adore.
Bearing the
image of the heavenly, we’re raised
incorruptible.
In a moment,
the eyes twinkle; we’re changed,
indestructible.
In His
presence, joy is given with pleasures
forevermore.
Reunited with
those who went before us, we bask and
savor.
With hearts
filled with wonder, we explore and
discover.
In beauty
prepared, discovery surpasses
imagination.
Walking on
streets paved in pure gold, we revel in
celebration.
With all
revealed, we bask in our inheritance,
fully discovered.
