CITIZEN OF HEAVEN<\/p>\n

08-28-2014<\/p>\n

I am a citizen of Heaven,
\nI know that is where I belong,
\nGod sent His Son with a message,
\nAnd I heard His invitation song.<\/p>\n

I have always felt so different,
\nAs if this world is not my home,
\nGod revealed His truth to me,
\nIt’s written in His holy tome.<\/p>\n

In Philippians Paul tells us,
\nOur true Kingdom is from above,
\nGod and Jesus both designed it,
\nA wonderful city filled with love.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
