The Life of God

I cannot wait to go to live with God,
to cross the threshold to eternal life,
to pass on through that spiritual facade,
to cut the web between us with death's knife.

Yet has not God already made me live?
My life began when He created me.
Do I not have now but one life to give?
I've started life for all eternity.

Christ told us that His Kingdom has begun,
He said His Kingdom lies within us here,
it does not start just when this life is done,
in facing life we conquer death and fear.

Our life to God's is a continuum,
faith shows me, Lord, I've seen Thy Kingdom come.
