These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

The Time Will Come

The time will come when struggles fly,
when days of loss are known no more.
The Joy-filled DAY of Bye and Bye
begins the Gift of "Go explore!"

The time will come more soon than far
when One Blest Face will welcome Home
sojourners from an aging star,
Foundation's peace, such wondrous loam.

The time will come, the waiting gone
when sin will be a bygone thing.
New bodies made by God's Own Son.
Forever joyous, we will sing.

The time will come, "Could be today?"
Could Rapture in its flying trip
forever change The Bride to say,
"We serve You will our life and lip"?

The time will come in God's blest Hour
when earthly trials will see their last.
His Greatest Goodness, His Strong Tower
will make their tears of time, that's past.
