HEAVENLY VISION <\/p>\n

The Earth may have its great cities,
\nAnd other things that old Satan sells,
\nBut a Heavenly City is my only vision,
\nEverything else by comparison pales.<\/p>\n

Tho long I may sojourn on this planet,
\nI have known it is not my true place,
\nThus I try to please the Lord daily,
\nAs I patiently run in the great race.<\/p>\n

Some fine day my journey will be over,
\nMy tired body just won’t take any more.
\nSo I pray that when I finally retire,
\nAngels will open that Heavenly Door.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
