Sweet Jubilation
Eye hath not seen at anytime the beauty in this earth
That will be seen when all have gone again through their new birth
When children will be gathered in their parents arms again
When Christ returns and finally puts an end to worldly sin
Nor can the mind imagine all the things God has in store
For those awaiting His return who loved Him even more
Than every pleasure offered here by Satan and his crowd
That only for a season yet will God in truth allow
For soon time will be finished all creation will perceive
The evil only God could see when Lucifer deceived
The angels up in heaven who in doubt chose to rebel
And tried to bring all others they could reach to where they fell
Down to the lowest level of their dark depravity
That only in God's wisdom by His power He could see
And knowing until all creation could see it as well
If He removed the seed of sin the saved could never tell
The story of redemption and God's perfect seamless love
That never faltered never failed to pour out from above
In waves of pure compassion that He shared upon the cross
When Christ His Son did come to earth and died to save the lost
And more than death to living He did share the truth of life
That's only found when we return from suffering under strife
To living in His glory with the angels that could see
The path we had to travel in this world of misery
As there with Christ in glory that this world has never known
The fruits of that great harvest will be reaped where Love was sown
By those who shared the Gospel through the grace God shared with them
The grace that fueled the living faith they had in only Him
That will be there rewarded by the hands that bear the scars
Forever to remind us how the devil went too far
And how though we had followed mercy brought us back to God
Who never stopped to pay our debt and walk the path He trod
And Who that glorious morning when in heaven we arrive
Will serve that feast that massive feast for those who did survive
And live to tell the story of the greatest love of all
The Love that saw beyond the grave the greatest Joy of all
1 Corinthians 2:1-9
