These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

Just Think

Just think of what this life has been.
Just think what it will be
when He who put the stars in place
will stand for all to see.

Just think of how life's pain will melt.
Just think of Th'Eternal Day
when life is all made right, again,
by words, One Lord will say.

Just think, that things we thought were lost
are really in His care.
Just think, the debts we could not pay
were paid by His great dare.

Just think. It will be worth it all
when looking on His Face.
Just think. The last things He will mend
are covered by His Grace.

Just think. The hopeful Day's begun,
though often all seems lost.
Just think. The King upon His Throne
had always paid the cost.

Just think. The sadness of this world
will turn to our great bliss.
Just think. The things He knows we need
we cannot ever miss.

Just think. A hundred years down here,
is but a breath beyond.
Just think. The Word He spoke to us
is sturdy as His Bond.

Just think. The things, that on us dawned
we've not begun to think.
Just think. There's so much more to know,
we're only on the brink.

We think because He made each mind.
We think because His Choice
has willed for us to think, and grow
fore'er in Him rejoice.

We think to learn, that just by faith
can any see the Truth
as One, who died, and rose, again,
a Teacher in His Youth.
