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

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!
