As human we see darkly thru veiled eye
as we search, consider and vainly try
in attempts to peer beyond curtains of time
for revelations of our precious Lord sublime

Without Him I stray in utter dark
vision naught, success stark
but when I can gain a little faith
I easily succeed with His grace

On this earth without Him I stray
on bended knee, often must pray
to Him above, Who sends great love
like a mantle from heaven above

So 'til I pass to that better place
'til I gaze upon His blessed face
I'll continue to serve and give Him space
of this worlds' sin, I want not a trace

We sometimes feel life here is hell
when the enemy solidly rings our bell
but only time will eventually tell
how our striving vessel mounts the swell

Someday we'll reach that glory land
we'll listen to the great angel band
on that golden strand by His side
joyously stand, Forever His Bride
