What Will It Be Like?

Revelation 21:23 — The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp.

What will it be like,

O Lord,

when I am finally

laid to rest

and paradise eternal

swallows me whole?

When I breathe

my last

and my soul arrives

at last

where it was meant to be,

what will it be like?

Will the light

blind me

and the heavenly chorus

deafen my ears?

Will the peace

engulf me

and the beauty

silence my tongue?

Will I cover

my face

or shout with joy

alongside the rest?

O Lord,

how I long

to dwell with You -

for the rest of my days

I will never tire

of being with You.

Amen.
