"We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies. For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what he already has? But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently."
- Romans 8:22-25
This body again fails me
For eternal glory I must be patient
I long for perfect joy in Jesus
I long for unending satisfaction in God
This body again fails me
I am bound by its limitations
My flesh yields ungodly thoughts, actions, emotions
Of course I am only saved by grace
What a great God I have
He saved me from my failing body
This body again fails me
Yet because of Him, my new self is but a babe in the hands of eternity
For eternal glory I must be patient
But it will come
