unchangeable eternity
photo by Patrick Frey
“I have thought I am
a creature of a day,
passing through life
as an arrow through the air.
I am a spirit come from God,
and returning to God,
just hovering over the great gulf,
till a few moments hence,
I am no more seen;
I drop into an unchangeable eternity!
I want to know one thing –
the way to heaven,
how to land safely on that happy shore.
God Himself has condescended to teach the way;
for this very end He came from heaven.
He has written it down in a book.
O give me that Book at any price,
give me the Book of God!”
- John Wesley
