We Are Works in Progress

We are works in progress

That's what we need to know

That through our lives

We will learn as we grow

We are works in progress

Perfection will be great

But perfection comes when

We make our great escape.

We are works in progress

We are all hand in hand

Working together here

As we walk from land to land

We are works in progress

God the father knows well

Where we have messed up

And where our hearts dwell

We are works in progress

You are welcome if you please

To join our dear Savior

Who sets the captives free.

We are works in Progress

Best you know from the start

Jesus still is working

In the recesses of our hearts

One day we'll all be ready

Our work here will be done

Jesus will return on earth

To collect the ones he won

The day he died on the cross

He won for eternity

The sinners who confessed

People like you and me

He prepares a home in Heaven

Glorious place where we will dwell

Instead of being dead forever

Or seeing the depths of hell

Our "real" life in Heaven

Awaits us when we pass

To be with our Savior

On the day that is our last.

(A poem that sounds like a song to me.)
