HeavenWordA Poem by C.T. BaileyWarning*** This is Christian Poetry. If you are offended, please stop here and read no further. I am not the sort to force my religious views on others. What words can describe Heaven?I’ll tell the Saints of dreams untold, with words that fill a soul with hope! Of how the Lord redeems his fold and gathers those with faith as Job. Recline the head and close the eyes, and speak of Heaven’s fair respite: where sickness, strife, nor sin arise; the darkness never quenches light! I’ll talk of Holy cherub song, a praise of glory to His throne, and then we’ll sing with angel throng a hymn - Salvation’s Blood Atone! But ‘lo we’ll never view Hev’s gate from old earth’s highest mountain peak. Forbid you not this visage great! What is the word of truth I speak? Describe our Heaven not with gold, and not with precious gem or stone. Perhaps it is as Paul foretold: Of Faith and Hope and Love that’s shown. © 2011 C.T. Bailey |
