| The Invisible Stairway
An invisible stairway winds around This earthly course of ours Its path leads to the pearly gates On past the distant stars. The sacred stairs go to a home That bathed in holy light And crystal skies are patronized By angels dressed in white. A wondrous place so full of grace Ruled by the Shepherd's rod Where Jesus holds the book of life Before the throne of God. Another stairway cold and grim Goes just the other way On past the point of no return To a world so dark and gray. This place is filled with chambers Down in the pits of doom A fiery blaze engulfs it all And demons guard each room. A world that has no mercy A dungeon of despair Where endless pain and torture reign And brimstone fills the air. An invisible stairway beckons us A place we all must go We can choose to rise to paradise Or perish down below. Written By: Marilyn Ferguson |
