by Paul Mayes Jamar

We are very close to the last of time
when our faith will be revealed, and shine.

According to Jesus, abundant mercy is given,
to an incorruptible inheritance, we’re driven.

Undefiled, awaiting us in Heaven when
by our faith, we grasp salvation from our sin.

It is a gift from God as Christ freely gave
His life at the rugged cross, for us He did save.

From hell’s fiery pit, and eternal anguish,
now we spread this good news in every language.

Till the last time, or end of our days,
when in Heaven, we will be singing praise.
