Poetry
We know not where You go
So how may we know the way
Just look upward my Child
For your mansions here to stay
Keep your lamps trimmed and shinning
For you don't have time to wait
I will meet you in the morning
Just inside the Eastern gate
Won't you come, come to the Father
Don't let delay seal your fate
Morning will come and be forever
Of that there's no debate
Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were no so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am there ye may be also" .( John 14:1-3)
Remember that old gospel song,
Many years I've been lookin' for a place to call home
But I still didn't find it so I must travel on
I don't care for the fine mansions on earth's sinkin sand
Lord build me a cabin in the corner of gloryland
Lord build me just a cabin in the corner of gloryland
In the shade of his tree of life that it may ever stand
Where I can hear the angels sing and shake Jesus' hand
Lord build me a cabin in the corner of gloryland
I understand the theme of this old song, that being humility. There's certainly nothing wrong with being a modest Christian. However, I'm looking for a mansion in Glory, not just a little cabin. For you see, our Lord promised many mansions awaiting His own.
What do you think, beloved fellow Christian? My counter Gospel song is:
I'm satisfied with just a cottage below
A little silver and a little gold;
But in that city where the ransomed will shine,
I want a gold one that's silver lined.
I want a mansion just over the hilltop,
In that bright land where we'll never grow old.
And someday yonder we will never more wander
But walk on streets that are purest gold.
Amen
