Hey beloved, dry your tears!

I know you miss me.

I miss you too,

but all that matters now is are you coming with me?

This paradise, it is incredible!

Nothing of that old world can compare.

I am going to keep an eye on that pearly entrance

until I see you standing there.

If I could return, it would only be for a moment,

so I could tell you all about this place.

Oh, how I anticipate the day you join me,

and that initial look of wonder sure to grace your face.

You have dutifully committed my old body to the ground.

From dust it came, and to dust it was returned.

Yet, just wait until you see my new body!

It is better than anything for which I ever yearned.

I am free now, and oh the joy of my new home!

I never truly understood “perfect” before now,

perfect pleasure, perfect comfort, perfect peace,

and when I first saw God all I could say was “Wow!”

That old world holds nothing, but those whom I love.

All my earthly treasures, they mean nothing to me.

Your time too will come all too soon,

and all that will matter then is, are you coming with me?
