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

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

For it was here before creation                     John 1:1-3; Hebrews 11:3  
Of this great earth and heav'n;
And we shall live eternally,
For our sins have been forgiven,                       John 3:16-18

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.                         Hebrews 9:27

God did not cease to love us when
We fell, in our own sin.                                 I John 4:10
But He sent Jesus Christ, our Savior
Down, to bring us in.                                      Romans 5:8

Yes, Jesus died upon the cross,
For me, and every one                                  Isaiah 53:5-6
When we believe, we shall receive,
And be with God again.                            Acts 16:31

The devil tries to make it hard,
Our flesh, his planting ground.
We separate from wheat, the chaff;
Serve Jesus, for He cares

What fruit we bear, what joys we share,
He made us free from sin,
God keeps that serpent away,
Our mind is made aware

That Satan steals, kills, and destroys,                       John 10:10
He's headed for the fall
Into that everlasting lake
Of fire, for there’s no end.                              Revelation 20:10-15

But we, the children of our God,                            I John 3:1-3
Redeemed by Christ’s own blood.
New heav’n and earth we'll Forever share,                      Revelation 21:1-7
For ‘Forever’ doesn’t end!
