THE DOOR <\/p>\n

Some fine day we\u2019ll pass through the Door,
\nThis life\u2019s aches and pains will be no more.
\nThere are those who say it just cannot be,
\nBut by faith what we\u2019ve hoped for, we shall see.<\/p>\n

Then all our troubles will seem so small,
\nPerhaps we won\u2019t even remember them at all.
\nIn the Light of God\u2019s Kingdom we\u2019ll rest at last,
\nEverything will be new, and our old lives past.<\/p>\n

We will be so thankful, yes, each and every one,
\nFor the great Sacrifice made by God\u2019s own Son.
\nSo keep hanging on, and please don\u2019t despair,
\nIn God\u2019s chosen time, you\u2019ll find yourself there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
