Heaven’s Altar Call

There's nothing in this world that captivates me,
No enticements to compare with Jesus' love,
For the Spirit and the Truth that liberates me
Keep my longings firmly focused up above.

Yes, the world that God created is astounding
And there's beauty in all things that I behold;
All of nature is with eloquence expounding
On the One Who's the Beloved of my soul.

The sun, the moon and stars make proclamation
Declaring loud in every language known to man
That their presence is a lasting revelation
God's the Author of the heaven's lofty span.

There's no good in being enamoured by the splendour
If you're dismissive of the One Who is the source,
If you swallow whole the lies of the pretender--
At the judgement you'll be left without recourse.

The evidence is clear in all creation
Of the glory of our God Who made it all,
To every man alive a clear narration--
How do you respond to Heaven's altar call?
