For I know the
plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to
prosper
you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
Jer: 29:11
The oceans declare My glory,
The mountains display My Power.
The meadows clothed with flowers sing of My beauty.
Man is My hope of bringing many sons to glory. (Col. 1:27)
Just
as the stars light the heavens,
Each one being unique with a beauty of its own,
So shall men shine.
This
is the Hope of glory you possess.
So it is written, My plans for you are to
Give you a hope and a future,
For good and not evil
Though
now you pass through
The valley of the shadow of death,
The mountain of resurrection glory
Lies just ahead!
Now
is the time to draw near to Me--as I draw near to you,
And impart new vision that will carry you through
The dark night of the soul.
I
give you beauty for ashes--
Beauty
for ashes, says the Lord.
Response
With
the wings of an eagle I will soar--
For heaven is my home,
The cares of Earth are mine no more.
His
fragrance draws Me to His side
He is so near and yet so far--
The vine in which I abide.
Forever
freed of mortality,
I eat from the Tree of Life,
To embrace eternity.
Eternal
life is knowing Him,
The One who all brokenness can mend--
For He is the Beginning and the End.
Glorious
gifts worthy of a King,
To Him who overcomes He gives--
Forever of His glory will I sing.
Paradise
opens wide her door
As I bathe in His light,
And I am home once more.
