Goals of Heavenly Grace

 

The world counts reaching their lofty goals,
As an ultimate, final conclusion.
But each and every time a goal is reached,
It often fades, like a fleeting an illusion,
For the earthly things we have accrued,
And goals we strive to archive,
Many times leave us only emptiness,
With no joy, no love, and no peace.
Jesus said, wherever your heart is,
Your treasure will be also there.
So, when earth's riches, take wings and depart, 
What is left, is but an aching despair.
Then lay up for yourselves those riches,
Which cannot be taken from you.
Treasures way up in Glory above,
Of things which you can never lose.
For those things that our mortal eyes cannot see,
Revealed only in the spiritual realm.
Eternal life, Jesus Christ alone gives, 
When we put our complete trust, in Him.
Salvation by faith, God's amazing grace!
By Christ's wounderous atonement for sin!
Jesus died on the cross, then he arose the third day, 
To atone for every last one of them!
So set your affections, not on earthly things, 
Like the house built foolishly on the sand.
Trust in Jesus alone, reaching up to His Throne,
To take hold of His merciful hand.
Peace and Joy you will find, so rich and divine, 
Your new life in Christ will begin!
In Heaven above, rich treasures of love, 
And eternal life without end.
