The Glory of the King

The long days of summer quickly winding down,

a coolness now present in the air,

and soon my favorite time of year will be here.

Fall, in all its glory, reminding me of God’s presence everywhere.

Leaves of red, orange, yellow, and brown

paint the trees in vibrant color all around.

There’s just something about autumn

that reminds me still

that even with all this beauty

my true Home is yet to come

when I am finally with Jesus

the Christ, the King, God’s only begotten Son.

Oh, what a day that will be

When I will see Him standing before me!

Words will not be able to express what I will see

the matchless King of kings in all His glory.

Until then, I will praise Him everyday

for opening my eyes so that finally I could see.

This once wretched sinner is now forgiven

and one day I’ll be with Him, finally free.

My eyes will behold unmatched beauty and colors never seen,

for then and only then, will I know what it means

to truly be living. ✝️
