Far beyond this place and time
To pleasant climes unhurried
Past the walls of cluttered mind,
My heart in Spirit ferried
To a garden God designed,
To Eden decked in splendour,
Perfect place of blissful rest,
The majesty and wonder
Of creation at its best;
A place where hearts can ponder
On a world so truly blessed.
This paradise perfection,
Home to Adam and his bride;
All things in fond affection,
Harmony on every side;
No sign of sin’s infection,
Neither curse nor death abide.
Now all a dim reflection
Since man became enslaved,
I mourn mankind’s rejection,
Our appointment with the grave,
A world that’s lost direction
That our wisdom cannot save.
Our libraries are bursting
From the pens of poet and scribe;
Whose minds were ever searching
Beyond common diatribe—
Perfection ever thirsting,
Utopian dreams describe.
Thank God there’s a solution—
“Let the reader understand”—
The price for sin’s pollution
Paid in full by Son of Man;
God grants us absolution—
Faith in Christ—His perfect plan.
On wings of words God’s spoken
Of a promised future rest;
Eternal joys unbroken
As the birthright of the blessed—
New life in Christ betokens
All the prophecies expressed.
When Christ your heart engages
You’ve encountered saving grace;
His truth transcends the ages
Knows no boundaries of space;
Time’s hands might turn the pages
But God’s Word gives time its place.
