(“We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies.” Romans 8:22,23)

(“Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day--and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.” II Timothy 4:8)

(“But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, the home of righteousness. So then, dear friends, since you are looking forward to this, make every effort to be found spotless, blameless and at peace with him.” II Peter 3:13-14)

How far are You?

How close am I?

I know Your words are true when I don’t feel them inside

Still I believe You’ll never leave

So where are You now?

You’re all I have

You’re all I’ve known

Your breath is breathing in my soul

Still I am gasping, aching, asking,

Where are you now?

‘Cause I just want to be with You

I dream about Your promise to return

I just want this waiting to be over

And I wake up hangin’ on Your every word

I just want to be with You

For now my feet are planted here on earth

And it helps to know the Day is getting closer

And it helps to know the day is getting closer

But every minute takes and hour

Every inch feels like a mile

Till I won’t have to imagine

And I finally get to see You smile!

My journey’s here, but my heart is There

So I dream and wait, and keep the faith, while You prepare

Our destiny, till You come back for me

Oh, please make it soon!
