Catch the vision of a banner
Lifted high and raising hope
To blood-spattered weary soldiers
who have felt the bruising stroke.
Catch the vision of a healing
For the heart contrite with sin,
Bringing beauty for the ashes--
Bringing peace amidst the din.
Catch the vision of a captive
Bursting forth from prison door
To announce the great deliverance
to the hurting, to the poor.
Catch the vision of the blinded
Praises from his lips streaming;
He has seen God's wonderful kingdom--
He's like a man-a-dreaming.
Catch the vision of Jerusalem,
Glorious city on a hill;
A lamp burning with great brightness,
Motivated by His will.
Catch the vision of the Holy,
No desire but to please Him;
left behind the temporary,
All earth's notions, every whim.
Catch the vision of a pilgrim,
Blazing trails, eyes on the goal.
He is mocked, he is so battered;
But he has grace, to bless his soul!!
Catch the vision of a meeting,
of a King, and of a Bride.
Expectations surge within her--
For Eternity!! By His side!!
