These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

Eternal I Am

"I think, therefore, I do exist,"
"Cogito, ergo sum"
Rene Descartes in thinker's bliss
thus digs the human's tomb.

Yet, greater still, the Great I Am
exists and naught dissuades.
The Earth is here by His Great Plan,
not slowed by palisades.

Eternity, His lasting Home
is opened to all trust.
To live with Him, just hear His, "Come,"
eschewing human lust.

His dealings with us seem quite slow.
10,000 years, a breath,
eternal seeing makes us know,
the choice is Life or Death.

The days are flying fast away.
Eternity is near.
We'll live, exist th'Eternal Day
with faculties most clear.
