pleasant thoughts

Soon - Brooke Fraser

Soon and very soon
My King is coming
Roped in righteousness, and crowned with love
When I see him I shall be made like him
Soon and very soon

Soon and very soon
I will be going
to the place he has prepared for me
There my sin erased, my shamed forgotten
Soon and very soon

I will be with the one I love
With unveiled face I will see him
There my soul will be satisified
Soon and very soon

Soon and very soon
see the procession
the angels and the elders round the throne
at his feet i will lay crown my worship
Soon and very soon

though I have not seen him
my heart knows him well
Jesus Christ the lamb the lord of heaven

Every time I sing this song, I think of my own father (earthly). When I was young I love to jump onto him in bed and ask him to draw something. Somehow, despite his busy schedule and tiredness after work, he always found time to draw whatever I request. The time I spend in his presence was so enjoyable that nothing can come close to replace it. Whether it is the part of him enjoying drawing what I request or whether it is the part of him admiring the progress of my drawings, I never knew which he delighted in. Probably both. But I do know he delighted in me greatly. Because of this, relating to a heavenly father was no trouble at all. If anything, I can presume I was born in a home everyone dream of.
This post I guess is not complete if I do not talk of the relationship of mine with my heavenly father. From here, it is not hard to imagine this. God himself sitting on a stool beckoning to me to show him my drawings so he can appreciate them and frame them up on his own wall like how my own dad always tell me. And that being just the beginning as God can appreciate me for even more than how I draw.
