The First and the Last

Revelation 21:1-6
We shall see a new Heaven and a new earth,
For the first Heaven and earth will be gone;
And there'll be no sea that is giving birth,
Where all the fish would be able to spawn.

And so the New Jerusalem the Holy town,
Acting like a beautiful bride for her groom;
Out of Heaven from God be coming down,
Having been just newly born from the womb.

A great voice shall come out of the throne,
"See the Tent of God as being full of men";
But these people shall not be on their own,
As God being making a new living place again.

He shall put an end to sorrow and weeping,
No more suffering from pain or even death;
For God will be watching over and keeping,
Through each single moment of each breath.

So God will be making all things again new,
Everything to be gone that was in the past.
As Christ claims of what is rightfully due,
Now done since He is the first and the last.
