Crossing Over

Leave a reply

In my youth I visited Canada many times

On family vacations

Crossing the border was easy

No hassles, no problem

 

As an adult, I visited Mexico

Cancun to be precise

We flew, so went through customs

At he airport, easy as pie!

 

These border crossings were on this earth

And there were many ways to do it

But the border crossing to heaven

Has one way

Jesus.

 

In you want to cross that border

So heaven will be your reward

Then call on the name

The precious name

The only way

The truth

And he life

Jesus, the Lamb slain for you.

Now I Know

Leave a reply

I once though God was far away

And did not care for me

I lived my life for just myself

I  thought I was so free

 

But then I came to realize

That sin had kept me bound

The freedom that I thought I had

Was nowhere to be found

 

So I gave my life to Jesus

Because He died for me

And now I know He cares for me

And He has set me free!

The Way is Now Open

Man once lived in a garden

That was pure and full of life

They had their choice of fruit

And berries brought delight

 

But one tree was forbidden

The tree of knowledge called

Good and evil it would show them

But God said don;t eat at all

 

But man was way to curious

And he ate forbidden fruit

So God blocked the way to life

From the garden man did go

 

Generations later

Jesus came to die

He’s the only way

To eternal life

 

The tree of life is open

To all who call on Him

So open up your heart

And ask Him to come in.

The Road Less Traveled

1 Reply

I’m not one to take a big chance

Or go out on a limb

Or venture into unknown waters

 

I tend to take the road more traveled

One that I know

That i’m comfortable with

That I’ve traveled before

 

I was at home in my unbelief once

Easy life down an easy road

No responsibility

No worries

 

Then I learned that road went

Where I did not want to go

It was a road well traveled

Going the wrong way

 

I heard about another road

One that took daring to travel

It led the right way

And it was much less traveled

 

I decided to choose the less traveled road

I accepted Jesus Christ

As Lord and Savior

Now I am on the right road

Won’t you come along with me?

He is my all

My everything

The King of Kings

He is my Rock

So now I sing

Praises to His name

 

He is the Lamb

Who gave His life

He came to be

My sacrifice

He rose to give

Eternal Life

I will praise His name

 

All glory and honor and power

Be unto His name

He is my King forever

He’ll always be the same

I lift His name

His wonderful name

I lift His name

His glorious name

The mighty name of Jesus, Jesus

 

He sits in heaven

He watches o‘er me

He sends the angels

To set guard by me

He will return

And take me home

To a mansion He prepared

 

I can no longer contain the praises of my lips

I have to shout from the mountains the love He has to give

So now I will sing at the top of my voice

In Jesus name I‘ll forever rejoice

I’ll sing His praise as long as I shall live

 

All glory and honor and power

Be unto His name

He is my King forever

He’ll always be the same

I lift His name

His wonderful name

I lift His name

His glorious name

I lift His name

The mighty name of Jesus, Jesus

Greatest Value Ever!

I like to find bargains

In the grocery store

It’s a challenge to find he best deal

And when I choose one

That seems like the best

I feel good that the bargain is real

 

Now groceries are one thing

We need them each day

To strengthen our bodies and minds

And the value we get

From the food that we eat

Is essential to everyday life

 

But the best value ever

Was the price that we pay

To have all our sins be wash away

Because it costs us nothing

The price has been paid

And I’m fee from my sin every day

 

Jesus gave His blood

There on the cross

And bore all my burden away

Now I can walk

In freedom and hope

Because Jesus blood made a way

Is He Coming for You?

Leave a reply

He’s coming soon.  He’s coming for me

Because I asked Jesus to save me

I bowed me head and made my plea

And that’s why Jesus is coming for me

 

When Jesus died so long ago

He died a death that all should know

Because on the cross He saved our souls

My sin has been washed white as snow

 

But there is something I must say

Ask forgiveness right this day

And then repent and turn away

And walk in His way every day

 

I must apply the blood of Christ

To all the old life left inside

And let His Spirit override

My past of loving fleshly life

 

And as I do He will transform

My life to His desired form

I’ll see a new and living swarm

Of God’s desire becomes my own

 

And then He can work out the plan

He had for me when He began

To transform me by His sweet hand

So I’ll become a Godly man

 

And as I live my life for Him

He promised I’ll forever live

In heaven, and I’ll walk with Him

For all of time His praises give

 

He’s coming soon.  He’s coming for me

Because I asked Jesus to save me

I bowed me head and made my plea

And that’s why Jesus is coming for me

 

Is He coming for you?

A Brand New Me

1 Reply

The Pharisees knew the law

And they all looked good

Dressed in holy garb

Prayer fully they stood

But Jesus looked inside of them

Beneath the pure facade

And saw the tomb that was inside

And told them it must fade

 

I was once a Pharisee

Everyone thought I had it good

But inside my mind and heart

I was full of bad, not good

But Jesus loved me so much

He came and rescued me

Cleaned me up and set me straight

Now I am a brand new me!

Are You Finished?

Are you finished telling me that you don’t want to hear

About the love of Jesus, the friend I love so dear?

How He died to take your place so that you won;t have to fear

Where you will up up for eternity?

 

Well, I’m sorry, but I really have to ignore your request

Because i am unfinished in showing how your blessed

So I will keep on planting seeds whenever I assess

That you need Jesus just as much as me

 

He died for you, and took your sin

He provided peace and joy within

And one day you can enter in

To heaven’s wondrous doors

 

So won’t you come to him today

And He will wipe your sin away

He’ll brighten up your darkest day

With His wondrous love

The Songs of Heaven

Leave a reply

Isaiah saw the seraphims

Flying ‘round the throne

In the year that King Uzziah died

They were shouting highest praise

As the flew with all their might

And the posts and doors moved as they cried

 

Holy, Holy, Holy

Is the Lord of hosts:

The whole earth is full of His glory

Holy, Holy, Holy

Is the Lord of hosts:

The whole earth is full of His glory

 

John saw four beasts in Heaven

Appear before the throne

The likes of which were clear for Him to see

One like a Lion, one a calf,

Then a man and last a flying eagle

Singing night and day these words of praise

 

Holy, holy, holy

Lord God Almighty

Which was, and is, and is to come

Holy, holy, holy

Lord God Almighty

Which was, and is, and is to come

 

I want to sing the songs of Heaven

Sing with all my heart

Praises to my Lord and King

And I will sing them while I live

Sing them loud for all to hear

He alone is worthy of the words I sing

 

John saw four and twenty seats

Gathered ‘round the throne

Four and twenty elders came along

Clothed in white they gathered

Crowns of gold upon their heads

They bowed before the throne and sang their song

 

Thou art worthy, oh Lord

To receive glory and honor and power;

For thou hast created all things,

And for thy pleasure they are and were created

 

Then he saw the four beasts gather

With the elders ‘round the throne

As the lamb of God appeared in majesty

They were looking for the one

Who could open up the book

And only He could bear the task, so they start to sing

 

Thou art worthy to take the book,

And to open the seals thereof:

For thou wast slain,

And hast redeemed us to God by thy blood

Out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;

And hast made us unto our God kings and priests:

And we shall reign on the earth.

 

I want to sing the songs of Heaven

Sing with all my heart

Praises to my Lord and King

And I will sing them while I live

Sing them loud for all to hear

He alone is worthy of the words I sing

 

Then I saw the angels gather

With the beasts and elders there

Around the Lamb who sat upon the throne

And the number of them grew

Ten thousand times ten thousand

As they sang aloud the praises of my Lord

 

Worthy is the Lamb that was slain

To receive power, and riches, and wisdom,

And strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing.

 

And every creature up in heaven,

And here upon the earth,

And even those who dwell under the earth,

And all the creatures of the sea,

Lift up their voice on high,

Their praises to our Lord and King

 

Blessing, and honor, and glory, and power,

Be unto Him that sits upon the throne,

And unto the Lamb for ever and ever.

Blessing, and honor, and glory, and power,

Be unto Him that sits upon the throne,

And unto the Lamb for ever and ever

 

I want to sing the songs of Heaven

Sing with all my heart

Praises to my Lord and King

And I will sing them while I live

Sing them loud for all to hear

He alone is worthy of the words I sing
