Embrace the Eternal #2022

Embrace the Eternal In a world where wealth defines our gain, Jesus stood with no possessions, yet He reigns. His kingdom not of earth, but heaven's light, By having nothing, He held all in sight. Rejecting evil, His love did prove, Rooted in eternal, His heart did move. Surrendering His life, He showed the way, To everlasting life, to eternal day. Thanks be to Christ, in God’s embrace, Mysteries of life and death we face. In surrender, true possession lies, Not in wealth, but in the skies. His victory through the cross, we see, A symbol of love and eternity. In His exodus, we are called, From temporal chains to be enthralled. Leave behind the fleeting, embrace the whole, In Christ, we find our eternal goal. Our true inheritance, the kingdom's grace, Through surrender, we find our place. In the light of God, let us stand, Rejecting evil, holding His hand. Possess the kingdom, trust in His plan, Through Christ in God, be a new man. As we journey, let our hearts align, With the eternal, the divine design. In giving all, we gain so much more, In Christ’s embrace, forevermore. -Steven G. Lee (June 29, 2024)
