Finding Eternity by Mark Spencer

We tarry here but for a while
Tossed between life's grace and guile.
We rise and fall like day and night,
Guided by the dark and light.

And though the path is less than clear,
We will face it without fear,
Until our roads come to an end,
Our souls cast upon the wind.

And if our deeds in life are just,
The soul shall not fade to dust.
For righteous hearts follow the Son,
His light shines for everyone.

Yet none can enter His embrace,
Lest He look upon their face,
And see their virtues and their shame,
He will call them by their name.

And if we let our burdens go,
Then our cups will overflow.
And as He sets our spirits free,
We will find eternity.

need some music...
mark, this could be a hymn - very good work, and with the right music (organ, of course) it could become a beautiful hymn. not all the hymns have to have been written decades and decades ago... this is worthy of finding its own page between the covers of a hymnal.
peace...
