Deathly Future

I are always of good courage,
And know while I feel at home;
I become deathly in bondage,
To this body where I may roam.

I become away from the Lord,
Though I walk by faith, not by sight;
Our confidence not ignored,
Since I am walking in the light.

From this body in its absence,
Whether at home or far away;
Of the Lord in His presence,
Because I do trust and obey.

I will make it my aim to please,
Knowing that day I will appear;
For I have followed His decrees,
At the Judgment Seat I revere.

So, I receive what I am due,
For in my body, I have done;
Christ knowingly what I pursue,
Finishing all that had begun.
