(Walking Christ's Love) To Eternity
by Michael Doyle

Jesus is distinguished as the other
Holy savior and mankind's brother
Wholly God and man, we worship His name
He and only He is able to cross out our blame

We stand humbly trusting in His authority
Excited as He is for all of eternity
We follow in His love with our dignity
Holding to the ways of His love for eternity

The substance of belief started with optimism
Against the world's tangled web of criticism
When taken to the extent of what we can control
We must bring the best of what's good for our souls

We acknowledge the truth of Christ's supremacy
As we examine Christ in His full sufficiency
He is the sovereign of the broken and unbroken road
As He fulfills our faith as we are told

Our lives as Christians are built on the foundation
We find in the Bible and given verses as explanation
All of this informs the way we are to live
Find the best of what life has to offer and give

We know the outcome as given in Revelations
And we remain faithful to our final destination
The Bible is not a thing of vapid secrecy
It is the truth revealed for our security

In His story, we have been shown the ways
That teaches us to live in our best days
We build Our lives as we continue to learn
Given over to the extent that we can discern

Getting older, we put away our innermost child
As we look into the mirror and find reviled
Until we are ready to put on the ways of correction
Those ways that keep us moving in the right direction

We are to put on ways of kindness shared from above
As each of us walks this world with Christ's love
Ours, then, is a mission of openly declared grace
It's up to you and me whether we choose to embrace

This is the path in which we know that we must live
Letting our thankfulness lead us to learn to forgive
In the godly relationship of complex community
It allows us to discern our God's sweet sovereignty
