It must be.

For this perishable body must put on the imperishable, and this mortal body must put on immortality.

1 Corinthians 15:53

It must be and it will be

that time bound bodies are exchanged

in eternity.

It must be and it will be

that from flesh my soul in Christ

will be set free.

This is what must be.

It must be and it shall be

that I too decline and perish

cursed with mortality.

It must be and will someday be

that I will slide safely home

putting on immortality.

This is what must be.

It must be and it will be

that my home here will crumble

but Jesus I shall see!

It must be and it will be

that earthly joys fade in brilliance

eclipsed by brighter eternity.

This is what must be

and

praise God!

This is what must be.
