ABUNDANT LIFE
April 5, 2021
Will you keep on chasing every lesser pleasure,
As if it’s your heart’s next and greatest treasure?
But while you’re chasing your new lesser pleasure
You’re missing out on life’s greatest Treasure!
You’ll groan in this life for that missing “something more,”
And rightly yearn, with hope, for what’s promised, in store.
While you yearn for real love and less suffering
Can’t you sense a deep yearning for what I’m off’ring?
Sustained by heaven’s hope, may your heart rest in Me,
I am with you now, slowly making your heart free.
One day, all will be made right, all things in your plight,
In days you call “forever,” nothing more to fight.
The full and abundant life? How is it defined?
Aroused desire with sweet hope now, but oh, confined!
In heaven’s land, by streams and mountains, not yet now,
Satisfied desire, sweetest love, content, I bow.
