ARE YOU READY

He is coming soon to take us away.

Will we be ready to go?

Lord, only you will know.

What should we do so we can go with you?

You tell us in your word.

Believing in Jesus that’s a must

Believing he took all sins to his cross.

Believing he died and paid our cost.

Believing he was buried and rose in three days.

Believing he went to heaven and hears us when we pray.

So confess your sin from deep within.

Believe and receive Jesus into your heart.

Your sins will be forgiven, you will have a fresh start.

He is coming soon.

Are you ready.

Lord, I’m ready to go.

But what now, what do I do?

Tell others of my love for you.

Telling others that I love them to.

Tell them what my word told you.

Let them see my love in you shine through.

Hallelujah, hallelujah, I am saved by grace.

Hallelujah, hallelujah, I will finish this race.

Hallelujah, hallelujah, I now daily pick up my cross.

Hallelujah, hallelujah, I gave my old life an eternal toss.

Hallelujah, hallelujah, I am strengthened from within.

Hallelujah, hallelujah, I am free, he took my sin.   

Thank you Jesus for saving me

You made me and you set me free.

Your now using me for your glory.

My life now has an eternal story.

Hallelujah, hallelujah, I am saved by grace.

Hallelujah, hallelujah, I will finish this race.

Hallelujah, hallelujah, I now daily pick up my cross.

Hallelujah, hallelujah, I gave my old life an eternal toss.

Hallelujah, hallelujah, I am strengthened from within.

Hallelujah, hallelujah, I am free, he took my sin.

He now lives within.  Amen  Amen    Amen

WHY DO CHILDREN DIE

As I watch T.V. I see they are raising money for St. Jude’s.

Could I ask you a question God, if it wouldn’t be rude?

Why do children have to die?

I know they are lifted right up in the sky.

And that gives comfort to me.

But when they get sick, are abused, or are in such agony.

War, disease or famine it’s all the same.

Anything that stops their life is a shame.

Why can’t their lives be full of fun, like a game?

Everyday full of excitement different but in reality all the same.

Oh my.  Why do little kids have to die?

Sometimes you provide a miracle, sometimes you don’t.

Your ways are not our ways.

For my way would let them all get old.

Your ways are pure, right and just.

My heart says no, but my mind says trust.

But I still need to ask, why do the little kids have to die?

I know our sin brings war, sickness and disease.

So, technically, kids are everyone’s responsibility.

The serpent tricked; the apple was picked.

We believed the lie; now we all must die.

All we, like sheep, have gone astray.

All have turned to their own way.

Arise from your sorrow.

God gives a second chance for our tomorrows.

His son died, so if we believe,

Then eternal life he lets all receive.

Children are taken straight up when they die.

Someday we will be all lifted on high.

When they pass on, there is sadness here.

But up in heaven the angels cheer!

They are received with open arms; freed from all that harms.

Why do little children have to die?

That’s up to you, God; your wisdom fills the sky.

Through life or death, thick or thin;

Our job is to keep the faith; so ultimately, we will win.

You take all there tragedy and throw it away.

You watch your children playing on streets of gold each day.

Thank you Lord they are all safe with you.

Sitting on your lap, first one then two.

THEY WILL RETURN

Raise your children up in the way they should go.

Some well see, some will flee.

When they are older, they will return to thee.

They will come back.

Hope and pray, find truth in that fact.

They will come back someday, they will come back.

Come back my children come back to me.

I will forgive.  I will forget.

Just------Come back to me.

I will run out to greet you.

I won’t get mad.  I won’t get sad.

I will be excited.  I will be glad.

I have missed your smell.  I have missed your sound.

For you are lost and not yet found.

Thank you Lord for that seed.

Some plant, some water, some feed.

You make it grow.  You make it glow.

Sometimes conditions need to be just right.

For it to break through and receive your light.

Come back to me. Come back where it is safe.

Come back, feel my warm embrace

For while you were lost I prayed and wept for you.

I have missed our walks.  I have missed our talks.

I miss doing the things we used to do.

I look down the road wishing to see you there.

It’s because you are mine, I love you, and I really care.

Raise you children up in the way they should go.

Some will see, some will flee.

When they are older, they will return to thee.

They will come back.

Hope and pray, find truth in that fact.

They will come back someday, they will come back.

Come back my children come back to me.

I will forgive.  I will forget.

Just------come back to me.

My son, my son, you have come back.

I thank GOD that His Word is true.

When he makes a promise he follows through.

I will go shout all over town.

You were lost and now you are found.

GONE FOR AWHILE

Seeking more wealth and wanting more toys.

Makes God’s voice a static kind of noise.

Once in a while he manages to get through.

Putting into question what you think you knew.

As you ponder your answer your heart beats more and more.

If he created everything, what does he need me for?

Why does he want me? Why does he care?

I left my Lord after many years.

I didn’t think he would notice, or shed any tears.

I found my old friends and started hanging out.

But in my heart I couldn’t help but dought.

After a while, I stood back and took a long gaze.

Everyone looked like mice running around in a maze.

I ask myself, is this how I wanted to end up?

Should I go back to God, and accept his cup.

I got on my knees and prayed, can I come back now?

Come back to me give up your fight.

My yoke is easy and my burden is light.

My hands are open, I am calling your name.

Get serious about eternity, life isn’t a game.

Come back, come back, become mine again.

I am waiting to forgive all your sin.

But for now, stay on your knees sing your melody.

For all your repentance, is a sweet song to me.

You wandered away, alleluia you came back.

You used my power to break the enemies attack.

Welcome home it’s where you belong.

I wept and prayed while you were gone

Your back, your back.  You are mine again.

For I’m always bigger than your sin.

Now I spend time witnessing to the old gang.

I get laughed at a lot, but on Jesus I hang.

Go back to God, give up your fight..

His yoke is easy and his burden is light.

His hands are open, is he calling your name?

Get serious about eternity life isn’t a game.
