On Earth

Julie Burling 1974 (Coffs Harbour)



ON EARTH

My life, my blood…..
Having faith in God;
Your body will be healed,
The truth will be revealed.
As we are becoming one
with the one and only son;
We will find a place in heaven,
As eternal life’s a given.
Trusting in the Holy Ghost;
For our bodies are the host.
Baptism! A ceremonial rebirth,
Heaven truly is a place on earth
