To Fix It

Your eyes will see the King in His beauty; 

They will behold a far-distant land. . .

and no resident will say, “I am sick.”

The people who dwell there will be forgiven their iniquity.

(Isaiah 33:17 & 24)

Some say I’m a ‘pie in the sky” kind of guy.

As if that’s a bad thing.

But when I see or hear or read

or know from experience

the unspeakable horrors of life,

the unbridled and deepening moral depravity,

of death and bondage,

disease and destruction,

despair and desolation . . .

things over which I have no control.

things over which no one on earth has control –

Is it wrong to long

for the promises of God?

Promises like:

Your eyes will see the King in all of His beauty,

in all of His radiance,

in all of His

majestic, ineffable splendor;

Yet there is more.

Our eyes will behold that far-distant land

beyond space and time

and dreams and imaginings,

a place

where He wipes

all tears

all tears

all tears

and sorrow

and heartbreak

from our eyes.

Oh! It is not wrong to long

to be held in Daddy’s arms

and watch Him fix it.

Oh, come Lord Jesus.

Your people

need you so

to fix it.
