Jesus is calling

Oh how I love Jesus,
he is all and all to me,
There upon the rugged cross
He died to set me free.

I can't help but love him
For did'nt he first love me
When I was just a sinner
he did not turn and flee!

He promised never to leave me
I am standing on his word
A truth he has spoken
The sweetest words I ever heard!

So when I go through sorrow
I dont have to go alone
For he is always with me
I have Jesus to lean upon.

I am satisfied with Jesus
Whether here or there,
If I know my savior is with me
I am contented anywhere!

Someday when my life is over
And I'm needed here no more
I will go to be with Jesus
on that bright and happy shore.

So won't you prepare to meet him
Don't turn to walk away
He's everly so tender calling
for you to give him your heart today!

Finding Courage out of tragedy

Together in love almost 15 years,
My Love, my life; sharing laughter and tears.
Then out of nowhere, in waters toiling and dim
Tragedy struck; and there I was alone without him!

He dived into the water,
they say he struck his head
I was lost and alone,
the love of my life was dead.
Scared and left alone,
in my time of tremendous sorrow
How could I face the rest of my life,
When I could't even face tomorrow!

I went to my room alone that night,
There I screamed and lay on the floor!
I pleaded with God to help me,
just make everything good like before!
I gazed accross the room,
saw my bible on a table just lying there,
God was reaching out to me, wanting my sorrows to share.

Soon the morning sun streamed in the window,
But my pain was not gone
I realized it was through Gods grace,
I would find strength to carry on!

I prayed,
"God if you are listening, and he is there with you,
let him look upon me, let him see I'll make it through!
God let him see me smile again, let him know I love him so,
Tell him that I'll be okay, as I struggle to let go."

Finally I turn to scripture, and Gods word I implore
He shall comfort me on earth, till in heaven we're together once more.
Turning to Psalms 30, to ease a heart thats torn,
Though sorrow comes by night, joy comes in the morn.

With God's mercy I shall go on, in his light is where I shall see
I can do all things, Through God who strengthens me!

Will you meet me in Heaven?

Will you meet me over yonder in that city of delight?
Where a mansion for me is waiting, with a robe of spotless white!

Once i hoped in Jesus, now I know that he is mine
Once my lamps were dying, in him they brightly shine!

Once for death I waited, now his coming hail,
My hopes securely anchored, safe within his veil!

Someday I'll walk with Jesus' in the land of endless day
when my journey here is ended, I'll go home with him to stay.

No longer feel this earthly pain, or suffer all alone
In Heaven no more tears will flow, our perfect eternal home.

In John 14:2-3 we read, "In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also."
