Eternal Life Restored
Created for eternity is what God first had planned
If faithful to His mighty Word we lived by His commands
To have a joy beyond belief no mortal tongue could tell
That was to be our destiny before our parents fell
But sadly in a few short years of living on this earth
That was completely perfect from the week God gave it birth
Temptation got the best of them whom God made perfectly
And in that act of selfishness they changed our destiny
Until this day as once before God's patience has worn thin
And as He cleansed the earth before from almost every sin
He soon will make one sweeping act to cleanse the earth again
When Christ returns in glory to remove the blot and stain
Of all that has remained of Satan's evil influence here
To rescue every precious soul that holds our Saviour dear
And make of us new creatures to be once again like Him
Restored in perfect image to reflect His love in them
But this time slightly different than He made us once before
As this time in our perfect hearts we'll love our Maker more
And never know temptation as our focus then will be
Upon the scars that Christ will bear for us eternally
Those scars of perfect beauty in His hands His brow His feet
That will be most intriguing to our eyes each time we meet
As we will look in wonder at the evidence found there
The evidence of perfect love found in the Father's care
That gave His Son in sacrifice to be the Lamb for us
To bear our sins upon the cross as we in perfect trust
Give everything that's held us from a life at one with Him
One with His Holy Spirit that indwells the hearts of them
Who choose today to meet Him early in that state of prayer
That by His grace through living faith stays with Him everywhere
In private conversation as we would with a close friend
In perfect sweet communion that with Him need never end
For soon as He has promised He will spit that eastern sky
To take the ones to heaven who by grace will never die
To live the life He planned before when He saw you and me
From time eternal in His thoughts of love and purity
Matthew 24:32-39; Isaiah 42:13-16; Matthew 25:31-46
