Soaring to God There is no Better Winning

Ronald Bunch 1982 (Grand Rapids)



Love, reaching boundless joy!
I’m on the good side I enjoy.
I climb hazards to peek above
The mountain of evil to visit
God with love.

But I must peek fast
And get out of there
Before I fall my last.
And if I do fall God
Catches me with a
Safety net, that I
Believe in Jesus Christ
And I’m all set.

Then God’s wrath fizzles
Out and He forgives me
As I repent because
From him I’m sent.

I dust myself off I enjoy
And get back on the path
For boundless joy. Evil
Can’t win forever and
God I hold as my treasure.

And on the path I go.
The path of war,
The path of rages,
The path of sages.

The hope of love
Encompasses me,
Through death I die
And with my spirit I fly
To boundless joy
To my Father I enjoy.

On the path I go.
The path of ages,
A path that ends
When it’s just beginning,
And soaring to God
There is no better winning.
