Analysis of Touched by Eternity



Man stood in the valley and grieved
for the friend he never had,
for mother and father--
not present in heart.
Disguised as a loner,
he raged and rebelled inside.
He came to God broken,
scarred with emotional blight,
searching for light!

God gave him the freedom
he cherished and longed,
He spoke to him healing
with living Word over the tomb.
Once and for all He proved
Life stronger than death,
once and for all He stood
in Spirit's conquering realm.

"I never shall leave you"--
God's promise forever remains.
