I WILL DWELL IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD FOREVER

How wonderful it is to have a glorious hope;

A strong faith in God will truly help us cope.

When death takes place we need not feel shattered;

The Lord has promised that we would be sheltered.

 

On this earth, we will see the Lord’s protection;

Out of His grace and mercy there will be provision.

He will meet all our needs as He has promised;

Each and every blessing is to be cherished.

 

The reality of our mortality need not cause depression;

Our hope in God will help us to find quiet consolation.

Our life on earth is but a journey to our heavenly home;

And there in Heaven, we would never need to roam.

 

The thought of eternity is not an easy one to comprehend;

Our finite minds are not able to completely understand.

But we can have a true hope that is steady and strong;

And deep within our heart God gives a joyous song.
