Heaven

No sight of You

No Presence near.

Earth seems too real 

for Heaven to be sure.

Night

swallows hope

Of Day.

But I will say your name; 

Darkness is as Light to you.

Your way is in 

the whirlwind and the storm.

What have I to fear?

Whom have I to dread?

You're my sun and shield. 

Earth's a shadow
and death, our last foe.

Hold on,

In a little while we will see:

Earth was just a dream
and Heaven the Awakening. 

Jesus Christ,
the final sacrifice 

satisfied the wrath 

Son of God,

risen, fills the temple;

Holy hands still marred

Son of man,

holds tears in bottles stored-  

years of sorrows moored.

Hold on,
In a little while we will see
Earth was just a dream and
Heaven, the Awakening.

Earth, a tempering for Heaven's fulfilling:
Promises made perfect and rejoicing.

Earth was just a dream and Heaven the awakening.

Hold on, 

Hold on.
