God's Guest House

Post by DarleneG » Sat Mar 29, 2014 8:33 am

This world is God's guest house,
provided for us on earth.
But we're destined for the Main House,
through salvation and rebirth.

So hold lightly to earth's treasures,
because someday you'll be moving in,
to His mansions up in heaven,
prepared for all God's kin.

:hello: Thank you, Heinz. I changed the last stanza to read: "So hold lightly to earth's treasures,/ because someday you'll be moving in,/ to His mansions up in heaven,/ prepared for all God's kin. "

The old verse read: So let go of earthly treasures,/and get ready to move in,/to His mansions in heaven,/prepared for all God's kin."

I think I improved it? :computer:
