Just the Facts, Ma'am
Christ is the alpha and omega,
The beginning and end,
The be all and end all,
The whole ball of wax.
Christ, the bride adorned,
Forsaking all others,
For better, for worse;
Nothing do we lack.
Never out on a limb,
Or up a creek without a paddle,
Or at a complete loss;
Christ has your back.
All things new,
Trustworthy, true,
Your meat and your drink,
Love to the max.
Scott L. Barton
Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “See, the home of God is among mortals. He will dwell with them as their God; they will be his peoples, and God himself will be with them; he will wipe every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; mourning and crying and pain will be no more, for the first things have passed away.” And the one who was seated on the throne said, “See, I am making all things new.” Also he said, “Write this, for these words are trustworthy and true.” Then he said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To the thirsty I will give water as a gift from the spring of the water of life.
