From 2 Peter 3:13:  “But, in accordance with His promise, we wait for new heavens and a new earth, where righteousness is at home.”

Lifetime of building

Man’s labors seem so bold

Smallish enterprises

Growing fragile and old

Christ’s building schemes last

Any cost, He equips

Trusted enterprises

Growing discipleship

Eternity calls

Grace building rescue’s net

Savior’s enterprises

Liquidating sin’s debts

Christ, building for more

Faith’s stalwart cornerstone

Righteous enterprises

Shaping mankind’s backbone

Passionate spirit

Every consuming fire

Heaven’s enterprises

Built, never to expire

This poem was influenced from these words of Scottish evangelist and Christian teacher, Oswald Chambers:  “Jesus takes us over for His enterprises, His building schemes entirely, and no soul has any right to claim where he shall be put.”
