THE LAND ON THE OTHER SIDE <\/p>\n

As our life moves on and we grow older,
\nAnd aches and pains begin to take a toll,
\nWe worry so much less about our flesh,
\nAnd more about the destiny of our soul.<\/p>\n

In our youth we are sometimes dishonest,
\nOur sins and mistakes we may try to hide,
\nBut not so in the Light of God’s presence,
\nIn yonder land that is on the Other Side.<\/p>\n

All shall be revealed and nothing hidden,
\nBut in God’s Grace and Love we will abide,
\nFor He will remember our sins no longer,
\nIn the land that is on the Other Side.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
