Already Raptured – v8

A new perspective
a new guiding,
teaching us words of joy
to think of today, and tomorrow
with God ever, evermore

Living in the kingdom
in the present, the now,
already raptured
by the blood
of our Risen Lord

We are healed,
whole with Him
walking on this journey
only waiting
for our reward
