HEAVEN
by Dora Grier

I've just been a wondering what Heaven will be like,
When we have washed and cooked all day and nothing went just right.
We are so very tired and we ache in every joint –
Will it be the same as this, or have we missed a point?

Will we remember all the things that irritate us so?
Or will it be all peace and joy – our faces all aglow
With all the love and thankfulness which wells up in our hearts,
To know we'll be with Him in Heaven and never more depart?

The Good Book tells us of the things we really need to know
By putting all our trust in Him, it will truly help us grow
In grace and in the love of God, so generously given
By Him who gave His life for us and builds our home in Heaven.

The tears will all be washed away, with ne'er a trace to find.
The aches and pains will all be gone and health will be sublime.
Our mortal bodies will then know the Resurrection power
Of Him who lived and died for us ‘mid Heaven's darkest hour.

So, if you do not understand nor fully comprehend,
The riches of the grace of God – a taste which Heaven sends –
Just trust Him with the future and rest in Him complete,
For up in Heaven we'll all rejoice and worship at His feet!
