Ode to King Jesus
Timeless Ancestor, living in fair clouds/
Son of the Living God, Heir of Heaven/
Your crown of gold glitters brighter than the sun//
Live forever, O King!
Beautiful Angels, with their many wings/
Sweep clean your orchards and bow at your feet/
Creation sings your praises on earth below//
Holy is your name, O Lord!
Power, majesty/
Dominion/
Adorn your throne above//
O Ancient of days!
Through Heaven’s Street
When you walk through Heaven’s Street,
Beyond the sea, on a beautiful day,
Take one step at a time, if you may,
There are a hundred thousand sailors in Jesus’ fleet.
Men, women, boys and girls, they’ll greet:
‘Welcome to a home that’ll forever stay’;
When you walk through Heaven’s Street,
God’s glory will never pass away.
Neither the sun nor moon you’ll meet,
‘Cause His Word will hold sway,
To be the Light, and keep the people gay.
Whatever thing it’ll cost, aim for these feet,
When you walk through Heaven’s Street.

Abby crafts poetry like a piece of art on a canvas. I sure walked through heaven’s street and sang an ode to Jesus as I journeyed through each line and verse.
Keep the balm of your ink healing lives Abby.
