Eternal Life
Gene Allen Groner
Author of over 50 books and biographies. Writer of memoirs and articles for Daily Bread, Herald, and Veterans' Voices magazine
There is a place where we may dwell, a home that's eternal where sages foretell
Of angels and sunlight, of music and song, where time never ends and days linger on
Choirs singing praise to the Father of Light, celebration and banquets all through the night
Where the sun always shines and love never ends, where we'll be with our loved ones, our family and friends
No matter how small your gift for the King, just give what you can and He'll love what you bring
For the Father loves giving more than the gift, and He treasures the giver whose heart's not adrift
Whose heart is for God and for those that He loves, His treasures on earth and in heaven above
The greatest of gifts that He offers us here, Is the gift of life filled with love and not fear
For the nature of God is love, you see, His love is for all--for you and for me
Love never ends when we pass from this place, it follows us on 'til we meet face to face
We find that our lives, whether brief or quite long, may lead us to heaven and to where we belong
For destiny calls us to our home high above, may we answer the call with lives full of love.
