When I've Run the Race Before
And have fought to victory,
I'll be raptured to the glory of the Lord;
When I've kept the faith at any cost,
The Holy City then
I'll receive as my reward.

I'll be raptured into glory,
In the Holy City dwell —
New Jerusalem, New Jerusalem;
With the overcomers shouting,
How our praises then will swell,
In the New Jerusalem.

As a pilgrim here I wander
While afflicted I rejoice,
For a better land I soon expect to see;
Though all others seek for earthly gain,
The Holy City e'er
Will my aspiration be.

On the rough and rugged path,
Just by thinking of that city, I'm restored;
Though my eyes be filled with tears,
My heart will evermore be fixed
On that City, my reward.

And I run toward the goal;
I pursue the prize, God's highest to obtain;
Pressing forward toward the mark,
I run forgetting all behind,
Thus the Holy City gain.

By His love and through His grace I'll
In the Holy City live —
New Jerusalem, New Jerusalem;
All saints leaping, singing, shouting,
To the Lord their praises give,
In the New Jeruslem

@angels4u :thumbsup: Love this! Is it from a hymn?

:amen:One of my favorite scriptures! 

Philippians 3:13-14 King James Version (KJV)

13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,

14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

Here is a poem I wrote this morning about a bird that is considered a pest. Call me silly, but I guess I sometimes have a soft spot for the underdog... Or in this case, 'under-bird.' lol (I figure God created each animal for a purpose.) And of course, birds are just so pretty :wub:

In this poem I make a comparison between these sometimes disliked birds and we who can sing "Amazing Grace! How sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me."

The Starling (a poem by turtletwo)

Simple starling - called a menace

There is beauty in your form

Your Creator looks down on you

Gives you life and keeps you warm

 

Makes me think of how God loves us

How we're cherished in His eyes

He who made us takes the foolish

And through us, confounds the wise

"But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God has chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty" (1 Corinthians 1:27)
