Just suppose this sub-division
Buys Christian living at its best.
Houses hold the nicest neighbors...
No one argues…none get stressed.
No one gossips …no one murmurs...
Sidewalks safe… streets are serene.
Everybody loves their neighbor...
No covetness or cruelty seen.
The busy boulevard is Faith...
Faith in God has built this block.
The one thing sure to please the Father...
He will answer Faith's first knock.
The next street over is called Hope...
Hope runs right smack into Faith.
Residents reach for the promise...
God still means what His Word saith.
And running parallel is Love...
Ah-h, Love portrays just who He is.
The Bible does say God is Love...
This essence is entirely His.
The next turn takes you onto Glory...
The humble occupy this street.
Pride is not permitted access...
All acculades lay at His feet.
Straight ahead's a street called Mercy
Many former addicts there.
Drunkards, gamblers, one time hookers...
All delivered from the snare.
Miracle's at the next stop light...
What an awesome avenue!
Many death escapee dwellings...
Many dreams known to come true.
Just around that second side street
Is one they have named Victory Drive.
Prosperity is just pior to it...
These neighborhoods were built to thrive.
It's a healthy, happy sub-division...
Much like what Heaven's gonna be.
I hear there is a move in special!
Please excuse me while I run to see.
