That’s Not How Things Are In Eternal Life
(Revelation 21:4/2 Corinthians 5:17)

When I hear talk of Eternity,
these thoughts, unbidden, come to me…

 No more will there be any tears,
no more feelings of gripping fears.
We’ll never again experience sorrow;
in Eternity, “now” is already tomorrow.

 Nor will we ever again feel pain,
and all that happens will be our gain!
Never again will we see hate,
nor ever again see an empty plate.

 All that our Father, God, creates,
will give us reason to celebrate!
Our toil will not be full of strife…
that’s not how things are in Eternal Life!
