Analysis of Eternal Glory
Richard Newton Sherrer 1951 (Easton)
Our faith is of the same spirit,
As per to what has been written;
I believe what I inherit,
Spoken by some as forbidden.
Knowing that who has raised the Lord,
Will also raise us from the grave;
In His presence in one accord,
No longer to sin as a slave.
Because it is all for your sake,
That He extends His grace to you;
Upon your death, you will awake,
Increased thanksgiving and construe.
So we do not need to lose heart,
Though the outer shell wastes away;
The inner self gets a new start,
Unto God will honor and obey.
This momentary affliction,
Prepares for eternal glory;
Beyond any comparison,
Making it revelatory.
As we look at things that are seen,
Things that we see are temporal;
No longer of things that have been,
But the things which are eternal.
