On sorrowed shores shall we

On sorrowed shores shall we
While thee drift oft to sea
From clutches of frail humanity
So depart

Though not far from our
Broken hearts
Though still and barren
We know

Thy joy
Doth ever grow
More and more
As thee drift farther
From this fleeting shore

For far beyond the eyes that see
Yet for thy great joy arise
To that glorious celestial
Mystery

For all life's sorrows and pain
No more find their sting or gain
For thy joy complete
When at last

Meet thy savior
Before His feet
Do rise

And look full
Within His loving eyes
And know at last
Thy home

Eaternal
Where light shall
Never fade

Though here
Our eyes blur
With thoughts
Of memories past

Yet joy
Shall still remain
To comfort amidst
This present pain

For know we this
Our time here too
Is short

And for that
We pray may it
Be well endured

For we know not when
Our time shall come
And though we long
Once more to see

Much more we long
To do our savior's will
Until that day
Our greatest thrill

Shall join thee in
That great triumphant hall
When all who are called
Shall as one be there

What joys shall sing
When at last
Our sorrows past
Shall meet our Savior
And our King

I hardly leave a response, but i did a few searching and wound up here "On sorrowed shores shall we".
And I do have a few questions for you if it's allright. Could it be just me or does it seem like a few of these remarks come across as if they are coming from brain dead individuals? :-P And, if you are writing on additional online sites, I would like to keep up with anything new you have to post. Could you list of the complete urls of your social sites like your linkedin profile, Facebook page or twitter feed?

never seem to get anything done.

You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be actually something that I think I would never understand.
It seems too complicated and very broad for me.
I'm looking forward for your next post, I'll try to get the hang of it!
