Just Passing Through--By Lisa DeVinney--United States

Just Passing Through

I am content with what I have,
But not enough to stay.
My heart still longs for something else -
It’s somewhere, far away.
So, while on earth, I’ll not complain,
‘Cause I’ll be looking toward
A home, a crown, an angel choir -
In Heaven, with my Lord

      Rusty, I'm so glad you were blessed. I'm looking forward to that day, too. Perhaps one day I'll meet you there, and we can sing together with the saints and angels. :)
