After Last Battle

The challenge was to write something inspired by the picture...

 

After last battle

when they've finished their course

and they've given all that they can

 

When gifts are used up

and callings fulfilled

failing all else, they'll stand

 

As Dispensation of Grace

draws to an end

and the trumpet begins to sound

 

Though wounded and broken

their spirit still strong

each knowing they held their ground

 

As the clouds gently part

and the Gates open wide

they'll gather before the Throne

 

Those who have stood

for all that is right

there, at last, will be home

 

So look to the East

as Michael steps out

the Redeemed will rise without blame

 

A handful of faithful

caught up at last

He'll greet each of His by name.

These words are so very uplifting and many phrases beautiful, 'Though wounded and broken ~ their spirit still strong ~ each knowing they held their ground '

Your faith is undeniably strong, etched into your very being .. but I was taught that the Lord welcomes even repentant sinners to His side .. and he'll know their names too, as I'm sure you know.

Love is all to all men, so sayeth the Lord.

This is beautifully written AK, not to mention the fact that the content is superb. Makes me yearn for our heavenly dwelling. :-) Carole
