Earth:
A stage for you and I, actors.
A place for God to work in us, as a Sculptor.
Residence brief, temporary,
A foreign country
We’re, aliens, strangers, sojourners visitors,
Travellers, foreigners, ambassadors

A preschool for pupils
A warm-up before the race.
Starter, appetiser before the main course.
A work-out before the real game.
A dress rehearsal before the play
Living in a tent, looking forward to the house
Like a fish out of water.

A place to choose whom you serve,
Where to make a choice decision.
A matter of life or death.
A time to make your peace with the Lord,
And have the peace of God

A place of great opportunity,
To make impact for eternity.
A place for training for reigning.
A gym for training for eternity fitness.
A shadow-boxing ring before the real battle.

Earth is a shadow, transient.
Here for the moment.
Not permanent.
Will pass away,
One faithful day.

I am just passing through.
I must live with eternity in view,
Shun worldly values;
And embrace eternal values.
This is a temporary,
substandard haven
Destined for blissful,
peaceful, beautiful heaven,
Our country and eternal home,
The final destination.
Our citizenship is in heaven.
