Excited
by Barbara Philbrook

I'm so excited I can hardly wait until tomorrow is today,
we have company coming, they are on the way.

Tomorrow they will be arriving, my heart beats with expectancy,
I can't wait till they arrive and are here embracing me.

If I, a mortal person, can be so overjoyed over seeing those I love,
imagine our Father's delight as He welcomes us home above.

Arms open wide and a brilliant smile on His face,
so very elated we accepted His loving grace.

We are told there are mansions built there in which we are to abide,
and can you even imagine seeing a lion and a lamb lying side by side.

Oh what a glorious homecoming that will be,
when we are met by the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, all three.

We will even be walking on streets paved in gold,
honest, this is a fact which our Bible told.

It's also been said that eyes have not seen nor can we imagine the beauty we'll see,
when at last we have arrived home for eternity.

I am anxious for my loved ones and so totally excited,
once they arrive I will be so completely delighted.

Great expectation fills my heart each and every day,
to know my Savior awaits my arrival in the same jubilant way.
