Joy For The Future

Troubles and trials bring us way down,
And we drag our chin on the ground.
But think about life forever more,
Life forever on that far distant shore.
 
When I think of everlasting life,
My heart fills with joy and drives away strife.
My Savior who died for all of our sins,
Will say, "Welcome home, just come on in!"
 
Many years have come and gone,
Yet it doesn't really feel so long.
Life sometimes is hard and hurts our soul,
Then Jesus comes and gives back control.
 
I know now that I love Him so much,
And always look forward to His loving touch.
Accept Him into your heart today,
He really loves you don't turn Him away.
 
The older I get the stronger I believe,
And I think back to when I did receive.
Christ in my heart and then it was done,
Now I eternally belong to God's only Son!
