Eternity's Anteroom

Waiting together in eternity’s anteroom
Practicing praise hymns, glorifying God.
Shedding mortal pain, emancipating selfish ego.
Talking with loved ones, longing for Jesus.

Vision grows far-sighted with age.
We can see the world through your eyes.
Your eternal view filters our lenses.
We see our blindness of your beauty.

We sing “How great thou art”!
“When we’ve been there ten thousand years we will have only just begun”.
Our Father Who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name!

Angels accompany us to our appointment.
You hand us joy as we journey to meet you.
All our lives we anticipate the appointed time!

Lord, we invite all of your children to wait with us.
There are endless benches.
You sent invitation to Heaven.
You sent us your Son.

Father, we beg to work while waiting in the anteroom.
We yearn to invite all your children to this eternal celebration.
We wait, ready to do your will.
