not completed before death

we pray to be more worthy
but we will not be perfected
we will not be completed
before our death
our life a journey
from brokenness to healing
from sin to righteous
from death into life
only at our death
will we see clearly
only in the passage
from life into life
we then will see God as he is
as we ourselves are
perfect in that moment
when we enter paradise
