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
