There are worlds and galaxies
As yet unknown to man…
There are wonders far too great
To be in this life’s plan…
The glories and the majesty
That thrill us in this place
Are they not merely preludes unto
That prepared by grace?

But thrill the poet they indeed,
And briefly, satisfy the need
To see, to hear, to know, to feel
What, soon, the heavens shall reveal!
I will see Him with my eyes
When, at last, He renders skies
With a trumpet and a shout—
There shall be, there shall be no doubt!!

The things I don’t yet understand,
They garner not a great command
As I look for Him, pressing on…
My hope in glory never gone!!
