 HE STREETS OF GOLD

 

The Bible tells us in Revelation 21:21 and 23:

 

"And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; every several gate was of one pearl:  and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass.  

 

And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it:  for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof."

 

~ THE STREETS OF GOLD ~

 

 

When I was young, I hopped and jumped

Like little girls will do.

When I grew older

I stood at the church altar

And said with the future spouse "I do".

And, then, my children came

They brought joys and tears,

And I asked the Lord

To guide and keep them from worldly games,

From sorrows, and from fears.

I am older now

And saw God's Hand

That guides, protects me day by day.

I may not hop with glee

But rejoice in Godly Ways.

The blessings to my heart and soul

Make my heart jump with joy,

I gladly walk the Righteous Path

That leads to Heaven's Glorious Place.

Dear friend, do you know my Lord

That gives Eternal Life?

If so, some day you too will jump

When you walk the Streets of Gold!

 

(Reference:  Revelation 21:21)
