Even Higher Ground

Open plains so lush and green
that no human eye hath e'er seen
covered in Lilies oh so fair
evry colour of creation is to be found there

Animals that ne'er bite nor hiss
or render each other with fateful death kiss
they leap n bound together as one
everything hath it's place neath the eye of the SON!

All present will obtain them a crown
a gift of love for sin's hold, they did frown
the mansion promised amid purest Golden city
to fore go the inheritance would be a great pity

Streets of Gold like a Crystal sea
foundations of gems reflect illuminously
no need for sun to light this place
the Most High will alight on our face

No more sorrow, crying or dying here
perfect peace yea nary a care
a banquet hall is prepared in advance
for all whose lives were ne'er left to chance

Sitting upon HIS Throne He'll be
his Sons and Daughters kneel afore thee
again He'll drink of the fruit of the vine
as his shed blood hath become the Newest Wine

There's no sitting pon a fluffy cloud
or singing incessantly from harps aloud
though harps some will play
lyres and flutes are others forte

The universe with it's glories to see
with which we can visit endlessly
no more limited to finite flight
just a thought is needed, the speed of light

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Still we must tarry here awhile longer
suffering makes the soul stronger
till soon no more this earth be bound
as we head for Even Higher Ground.
