Elizabeth Is Sitting

Elizabeth is sitting
At the gates of pearl
With her heart in a flutter
Her head in a whirl
Waiting, wondering
Strangely at peace
But feeling in her heart
She is one of the least.

...She sat for a time
In the shadow of those gates
And watched intently
What was profoundly ornate

The glistening pearls
Reflected the light
Which came from His Presence
Morning noon and night

Restless souls
Sat with her in the ashes
Wounded souls
Afflicted by earth's lashes

Suffering saints
With new found joy
Little children
Still innocent and coy

...Earth's departed
She heard someone say
They left the earth
This very day

Now we're waiting
At the Gates of Heaven
Wondering, In Awe
Earth's time is eleven

She had sat in the ashes
Waited her turn
So much on earth
She needed to learn

Now she is here
All strangely is real
It's an awesome place
She wanted to kneel

She heard a voice
Call out her name
Strangely she felt
No long lame

Excitement grew
Within her heart
In this vast realm
What would be her unique part?

..."Oh Elizabeth"
There you are!
We've called you home
You have run so far

We have been watching
Your life from here
All the injustice
The pain, so unfair

Now on entering
The Heavenly realms
You'll be overjoyed
...God was at yours life's Helm.

...So she entered through gates
Magnificently wrought
With precious pearls
Because God's way she'd been taught.

"Come Elizabeth
Come with me
Come join
Your family

Enjoy the beauty
Of this exquisite place
Yielded souls
Come here, by Grace

Observe the gardens
The fragrant flowers
Shedding forth their perfume
Many hours

The brooks are bubbling
Cool clear and flowing
God's plan is priceless
To those who've been sowing.

"Lets just sit
And talk awhile"
And she was glad
She had to smile
For the transition
To the Heavenly places
Was so natural
For Christ-like graces
Were infused in us
In our times of pain
And what seemed bad
Was too our gain

So she entered these gates
And walked gold streets
Fellowshipped with loved ones
And that was real neat
Many seeds
She'd scattered on earth
That many humans
Would experience New Birth…

God's plan and principles
Are not very hard
The old selfish nature
Simply discard

Be clothed by His Grace
In a new gown each day
Read His scriptures
Daily pray

We'll be transformed... Inside and out
And understand... What life's all about

He fits us beautifully
For the eternal realm
His love and mercy
Overwhelm...

...Come Elizabeth
Enter and rest
God's plans and ways
Are the best
