Poetry

---

We know that if the life,
That we live here on earth;
Filled with struggles and strife,
Since the day given birth.

Our tent taken down,
But still have a building;
No matter to what town,
For faith you are yielding.

For an eternal home,
Awaiting in Heaven;
When we no longer roam,
That we will be given.

In our present tent,
Existence that we sigh;
But are staying content,
Through coping as we try.

We long to wear the house,
As to not to be nude;
Since Christ as our spouse,
With a spiritual mood.

We were feeling distressed,
Keeping the old one on;
To God I had confessed,
Both at night and at dawn.

Soon eternal life will end,
Existence as mortal;
For Jesus our friend,
Comes back through a portal.

God has prepared for us,
Has given His Spirit;
A guarantee as thus,
To what we inherit.

So we are confident,
Always of good courage;
That God has a new tent,
After we have crossed that bridge.

Whether we live in or out,
Life guides faith not by sight;
Our goal without doubt,
For glory that is bright.
