Gaining heaven's aftersmile

Joel Magnes

I long
for Thy living Christ to lift me up,
to touch my heart,
to make me strong,
to fill my thought with Thee.

I listen,
for priceless pearls of Thy truth,
always offered from above,
that glisten
with pure love.

I pray...
and know I am Thy perfect child.
As thoughts of holy sonship dawn,
sweet angels gently nod,
and say,
my home is still in God.

Joel Magnes
