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.
