We want to have a sturdy house to live in
We want to be able to have all the food we need
We want the works of our hands to last
never to be forgotten
never to rot and fade away
We want to be with the people we love
We want never to hurt them
and never to be misunderstood
We want as much time with them as we possibly could
We want them never to be away
nor to say goodbye
never to grow old
never to be apart.
Now which of these longings could we fulfill
by our own hands?
Which of these could be granted us
in our short journey here on earth?
Only JESUS has the power
only heaven has the answer
to take away our anxieties and fears
and to wipe away our every tear.
