Eyes on Eternity

“So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal…” 2 Corinthians 4:18
Little child,
Look up now at me,
Fix your sweet eyes
On eternity,
Let not the trials
On your heart weigh,
Let not the challenges
Darken your day,
Let not your song
Drown in tears,
Let not your hope
Dwindle in fears.
No, little one,
Have faith, be strong,
Remember with Me
You forever belong.
Surely I embrace
With love deep and true,
Surely I give
Only goodness to you.
So accept all things
As from My grace,
Choose to feel My love,
To see My face,
To hear My song
Ringing ever clear,
To experience My presence
Always near,
To savor My comfort
When all is awry,
To smile as I wipe
Every tear you cry.
My little one,
Bright is every day
When you cling to Me
On this Heaven-bound way,
So keep your sweet eyes
Fixed on eternity…
Yes, My precious one,
Keep your eyes on Me!
