Song of Hope

On the shoreline of Eternity,
There by the Crystal Sea,
Hope waits, arrayed in brilliance;
Always beckoning to me.

If you listen, you can hear her song
Encouraging all to come.
It speaks of strongest faith and love.
A perfect life is done.

She tells us, when we think not,
Her ways will still be true.
While we are conquered in cocoons,
She waits for me and you.

One day, the inner man grows strong.
He splits the threads which hold.
A Spirit sings its freedom,
Whether young or very old.

At last, we break free from the shell.
At last, our wings are seen!
At last, we can be all that our Creator
Meant for us to be!

No worldly weights, no hindrances,
No hanging back allowed;
But, only just believe His Word.
We see it, clearly, now!

And, Hope is satisfied to know
Her destiny is done
When we walk by and enter in
Won by precious One.
