‘Forever 2’ (March 24, 2012)
By Allan Thomasson

Forever’s not a ‘long, long time':                   
Forever is ‘forever’.
Eternal, everlasting day,
And it will end? No! Never!

This life, it is for one short time,                 James 4:14
And then it will be over.
So all decisions must be made
On top side of the clover.

God did not ever cease to love us
When we fell in sin.
Instead, He sent us Christ, our Savior,
Here, to bring us in.

Yes, Jesus died upon the cross,
For me, and for all. Then,
When we believe, we shall receive,                 John 3:16-17
And be with God again.

The devil tries to make it hard,
Our flesh, his planting ground.                          Galatians 5:24
He'll plant the 'seeds' of wickedness,
Of hate, and greed, all 'round,

He'll plant that doubt, 'You'll be cast out!'
But this one thing's quite clear:
God will not see you overcome,                     I  Corinthians 10:13
For He is always near.

The victory is 'paid in full';
('Twas posted on the cross!)                 
'In God we trust'; so now we will
Not ever suffer loss.

And at the last, Christ will come fast,
And He will take us home.
'With our sins forgiv'n, we are bound for heav'n,
Nev-er more to roam.'

If, while on earth, we've had 'new birth'
In Him Who loves us so,
He'll leave us, never; with Him forever,
We shall always know

That endless love of God above,
Which He on earth did show,
And Peace and Joy and endless Love
Will never cease to flow

As gentle breezes through the fields,
And resting on us all,
Forever we shall be with Him,
For  'Jesus Paid It All'.

Acts 16:31:
"Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved..."
