Return To Eden
Return to Eden?
Will the Earth Christ returns to be Eden, one tent?
As His Church greets its Lover, will all flesh be spent?
The whole world touches ‘hem of His gown?’ Is this all
Just God's plan for creation? Man's 'Spring,' not our 'Fall?'
Oh, may God bless His Word for it prophecies this,
That man's love of his Father will lead to His kiss!
Does man breathe in those moments? Oh, what will eyes see?
Is there music unbounded by man's fantasy?
Can you picture 'new vision' that brings without end,
Not in two or three parts, but an infinite blend,
Such that rainbow's vibrations are swallowed up whole
By bright, colorful chords that envelope the soul.
Who would miss this occasion, not want to attend?
Or not hope to greet parents, a child, or a friend?
Can you see it? Christ's victory over man's sin,
With God’s kingdom established and Satan reigned in?
Oh, to God be the glory, all praise to the Son,
Bless the day Death’s sting dies, and Time's touch hasn't won!
