The Other Side

The Other Side

This isn't death, it's glory!

It isn't dark, it's light.

It isn't stumbling, groping,

Or even faith, it's sight!

This isn't grief, it's having

My last tear wiped away.

It's sunrise, it's the morning

Of my eternal day!

This isn't even praying,

It's speaking face to face.

It's listening, and it's glimpsing

The wonders of His Grace.

This is the end of pleading

For strength to bear my pain.

Not even pain's dark memory

Will ever live again.

How did I bear the earth life

Before I came up higher,

Before my soul was granted

It's every deep desire.

Before I knew this rapture

Of meeting face to face

That One who sought and saved me,

And kept me by His Grace!
