my heaven

the heavens chasing us in Colorado this summer

Everyday I reach for heaven
I've read about it
Sung about it

Longed about it

I could spend 23 hours a day

Preparing myself, my heart
,
My person
, for that freeing place

But it wouldn't be enough

The glory will be overwhelming

It's contained nowhere and is everywhere

And Jesus, my everything
,
Will extend His hand
I will take it, trembling,

And never be the same.


Until then, I will keep

Dreaming for heaven

And loving the heavenly

Things before me.
