who wouldn't want or choose
the kingdom of heaven
if only they knew
the Beauty, the Joy therin
for that reason thou give us not
like Job before
in the face of defeat... loss
because you have put heaven in our hearts
because from time to time you allow us
a fleeting glimpse of the Angelic Way
knowing that we wuld choose the heavenly path
knowing that we wuld turn from no obstacle
you gave us sweet adversity to draw us to you
