Why Not Today - Poem by Raymond A. Foss

In the Courts of heaven
standing in the gate on earth
Why not today
to laud our Savior’s birth

Sharing the joy of Jesus
Christ coming to earth
worshipping ever
the presence of God

Not waiting for the future
eternity in heaven
sharing richly
the good news of our Brother
come to save the earth
