Already Raptured – v5

A new perspective

a new guiding,

teaching us words of joy

to think of today, and tomorrow

connected, here with us

with God ever, evermore

Living in the kingdom

already raptured

forgiven of sin

by the blood

of our risen Lord

we are healed,

whole with Him

only waiting

for our reward
