Somewhere on a mountaintop in a Holy Land<\/p>\n
There is a spot that waits for me to stand<\/p>\n
Wrapped in grace, white robes, barefoot in the sand<\/p>\n
The air is sweet-tasting and pure and soft on my skin<\/p>\n
Yes, soft like a kiss.<\/p>\n
It is a place where we cannot see the color of skin<\/p>\n
It is translucent and flawless, fluid and yet solid<\/p>\n
I could hold you if you were there<\/p>\n
and you would feel only love,<\/p>\n
my love<\/p>\n
And while I’d love to hold you there,<\/p>\n
It’s only about His love that I ultimately care.<\/p>\n
There are those who’ve loved Him here and said<\/p>\n
They wanted to drink His cup and go with Him, ultimately some did.<\/p>\n
Brave and dearly beloved, they followed Him faithfully.<\/p>\n
No matter how I might, it is only by His grace for me.<\/p>\n
I see them in the distance, highly favored<\/p>\n
now, with the many crowns they lay at His feet.<\/p>\n
So many crowns, the jewels light up the day<\/p>\n
There is no night, no one is tired, no one is too hot<\/p>\n
Or too cold. There are none who are sick or weak<\/p>\n
Strength and joy are everywhere. People I know<\/p>\n
Laughing and singing and welcoming newcomers.<\/p>\n
There is a feeling of tenderness and peace and knowing all<\/p>\n
It seems I’ve been here once before, but I don’t\u00a0remember how.<\/p>\n
I only know that place waits for me one day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
