A Cup Of Life

I met Him along that water hole
It was a very hot and humid day
A nice smile came over His face
A cool drink He passed my way

It was a cup of life He gave me
It was at that time I began to see
He was not just an ordinary man
He seemed to be happy and free

He said today I cured your thirst
Tomorrow I give you eternal life
Follow my footsteps without delay
To a world that has not any strife

I hope my friend you meet Him
Understand each word He says
You will find His place is Eternal
Happiness is yours in all ways

That Most Holy Book

Do you hear the mighty thunder roaring
Can you face the road that is far ahead
Have you wondered who Jesus really is
Does His name ever fill you full of dread

Do you wonder who died for all our sins
Tell me has He ever walked beside you
Does knowing He will meet you any time
Convince you that all His words are true

Would you listen to the words He speaks
When He tells of Glory that is up on high
Would you feel comfort standing with Him
Knowing that the end of the world is nigh

You know all these things can be answered
Sit down a while and take yourself a good look
All the answers you will find if you would read
Every page of the Bible that most Holy book

Beautiful Every Day

When the sting of death stains my eyes
This Earth shall be my home no longer
Up that marble stairway I will then climb
Love for my Savior couldn't be stronger

With a feeling of regret I leave my friends
Knowing some may never meet me there
Some may have never felt the Holy Spirit
Those poor souls will only find utter dispair

To love our Lord fills up my heart with joy
Why doesn't every person find that feeling
Their blindness will cost a Heavenly home
Not knowing it is with God they are dealing

He will answer if in your prayers you ask
His love for you shall never waiver or stray
He wants all of His people to be with Him
In Heaven where it's so beautiful every day

My Great Loss

Lord please tell me how to get to Glory
Wont you tell me these things I must do
I know I am longing to see you my Lord
Knowing it's up in Heaven I can find You

I have read your word and know it's true
How can a sinner can get up to Heaven
All these things I have done as a sinner
You made my record back to being even

You paid for our sins on that rugged cross
With your blood you washed our sins away
They didn’t realize nor care who you were
On Mount Calvary that dreadful awful day

You endured their wrath and their torture
Until your last breath had past and gone
They put in a grave blocked by a bolder
But you assented to Heaven before dawn

Our life needed to follow you is hard I know
Still it is easy compared to being on that cross
I know if I should ever come to doubt You
Heaven would surely become my great loss
