Ahead Is Life

I see before me all those fields of green
Are interspersed with trees and gardens fair
And mountains, deserts can be clearly seen,
But no place here is found the Devil’s lair.

For I am glimpsing heaven’s paradise
Where earth to heaven by His hand is raised–
Makes Eden new that’s free from every vice
Where angels and His saints all give Him praise.

And I see all those there who’re dear to me,
My mom and dad and all who’ve passed before;
With my sweet wife, together bend our knees
To Triune Love who’s opened wide the door.

So forward now I look with heart made light
For I have glimpsed that what’s ahead is life.
