Heaven Is Now My Goal Poem by Michael P. Johnson

I guess, I think, perhaps maybe
Such terms I used to pray
But now through Christ The Light I see
I’ve changed in every way

My hopelessness, I saw disperse
Silenced was every fear
I’m free of death and every curse
And almost every tear

I’m full of joy I’m feeling fine
I eat the finest fair
I’m blessed by God, His love is mine
And all is mine to share

The Truth The Truth of Jesus tree
God’s Son of virgin birth
Such truth can set the whole world free
To walk with love the earth

I’ve never felt like this before
This burning deep inside
I feel so clean I feel so pure
I’ve nothing more to hide

Hold back my heart before I fly
Take hold my lightened soul
In Christ this child will never die
For Heaven’s now my goal

To higher heights I’m climbing on
Eternal life is sure
Within my heart I’ve God’s own Son
I won’t look back no more

Now soon I’ll join my Master’s throng
That day draws ever near
But until then I’ll sing this song
For all the world to hear
