Eternity Awaits

by Shawn Smith - Sept 7, 2004

The angel of death walks in my direction

The ground that will hold me gently beckons

The delusion of life without death has been swept away

Although I long to, I cannot stay

A baby's cry turns into groans

As it proceeds to its eternal home

***************

Eternity awaits, I cannot resist

Oh the opportunities that I have missed

***************

The tears flow freely as these words I write

The thought of meeting an angry God fills me with fright

I cry for mercy, I cry in shame

For all my faults I am to blame

***************

Eternity awaits, I'll be going soon

Oh God have mercy or I am doomed

***************

When I was a little boy

My heart was filled with so much joy

But now it's filled with grief and pain

Oh how I long for joy again

***************

Eternity awaits, and so I'll go

To my everlasting, eternal home
