Electoral Colleagues

We’ll all see - eventually

At the end of history

Through all eternity

Living in God’s family

Each brother, each sister complete

The ones we’ve known, the ones we’ll meet

Not one here by chance or accident

Or by meeting ungodly requirements

The absolute best heaven had to offer

Traded for the poorest paupers

The vile and wretched, the most despised

The strength of his joy, the glorious prize

Welcomed with a shower of grace

No one feeling out of place

Shame exchanged for true humility

Blind eyes opened now clearly see

Held securely in his hand

Even though we wait to fully understand

Each faithful step brings us one step nearer

On an unseen road, a path made clearer

Once we’re here, we’re here to stay

Not a single soul will be snatched away

Watched over by the holy One, the only One

Who called us here to find our home

By this act of Christ alone

He reigns forever from the throne

Over a kingdom with no end

Every nation, tribe and tongue bows to him

The elect of God, whose hope keeps rising

Each glimpse we catch is more surprising

Now we know in part - but don’t forget

Though we walk in the light -we ain’t seen nothin’ yet!

“No eye has seen, nor ear has heard, no mind conceived,

What God has prepared for those who love him.”

(Isaiah 64:4 and 1 Corinthians 2:9)
