Twinkling Of An Eye
by Barbara Philbrook

Father in just one moment, in the twinkling of an eye,
we shall be transformed to live with Thee on high.

No man knoweth the day nor the hour,
we are brought home by You Lord not by our power.

Times may be difficult, kind of all uphill,
but in the twinkling of an eye we'll experience life's greatest thrill.

Pain may be the greatest burden we bear,
but in the twinkling of an eye we're relieved of that earthly care.

Loneliness may be our greatest bane,
in the twinkling of an eye The Heavenly Host will be calling our name.

Conflict may be the only life we've ever known,
in the twinkling of an eye unconditional loving by all will be shown.

Some of us can take only one moment at a time,
well in just such a moment life will become perfectly sublime.

When I'm feeling overburdened and under duress,
I remember that in the twinkling of an eye it will be worth all of this.

So please give me a song to sing of Your Glory,
as I share with the world Your Salvation Story!
