Eternity Values
What is rest to me?
If at life's end,
I cannot rest in the bosom of my Lord
Nor enter into His rest
What is food to me?
If at the great feast
I cannot dine at my king's table
Nor share of His joy
What is life to me?
When if I die
I cannot live in the eternal presence
Of my God
What love can I claim or desire
If I cannot love them
Who my saviour loved, lived and died for
What forgiveness can I ask or expect
If I cannot forgive them
For whom my Lord,
Even when we were yet sinners
Gave His life
What obedience do I expect?
What power, authority can I wield?
If I do not obey, the voice of Him
Who is my commander, the lord of Hosts?
What is peace or what peace do I have
But the peace of God
That passeth all understanding
What is my life?
But to do the will of my Lord
To live as He lived and to do
That which is pleasing in His sight
What is my joy?
Bit to bring the good tidings
To the poor at heart
To bring the light of the gospel of Christ
To them that are in darkness,
To comfort them that mourn
To bind up the broken-hearted
What is my strength?
But the joy of the Lord
Who has conquered the world
And is now at the right hand of glory
High above all principalities and powers
Through whom I can do all things
