Sweet Bye And Bye

If I had never known God
Where would I be today
Still walking in darkness
Having turned Him away

I am so happy I met Jesus
For He has claimed my sin
He hears me as I thank Him
Knowing I am born again

I can feel it in my heart
Precious love for my Lord
For what He has done for me
I'll give Him all I can afford

One day I'll claim my home
Far beyond the pale Blue sky
To live my life with Jesus
In that sweet bye and bye

To Heaven You Will Go

When the sting of death befalls you
Do you know the direction you will go
Will you find your way up to Heaven
Or find the fires of Hell down below

A horrible death if you follow the devil
He laughs and mocks your mistakes
Find it in your mind to turn him away
A lot of willpower is what it does take

Then turn to God you'll find the answer
He has prepared your home up above
Where you will find peace and comfort
In Heaven where it is filled with His love

Read your Holy Bible from front to back
It will tell you all that you need to know
Every word will tell only the truth to you
Follow and obey, to Heaven you will go

I Remember Jesus

This aged mind don't remember like it did
As years have rolled by, so has my memorey
I would hear it one time and then remember
Names now seem to escape me some way

What once was a mind that could recall all
Is now cloudy and I really don't know why
I feel guilty when some one asks me who
I just don't remember but you can bet I try

Old age can't be that rascal that caused it
I have seen older people sharper than a tack
It seems at times I get all mixed up in names
But there are times when a name comes back

One name I can never forget is Jesus Christ
For it was He who took all of my sins away
That day He died on that old rugged cross
Assured my place in Heaven one great day

He Will Relieve

Autumn's beautiful leaves are turning brown
A forewarning of the cold weather we will see
Soon the trees will be stripped of their mantle
Then to be dormant until Spring comes to be

We have enjoyed all of their dazzling colors
It is with sadness to see all of the beauty go
Knowing bleakness of winter will be with us
Our leafless hills can be covered with snow

We wont worry about a long and cold Winter
Springtime will chase the cold weather away
We will see the buds appearing on the trees
Soon the green leaves will be on there way

I know it wonderful the way God renews life
Your life can be renewed if you will believe
He has made for you a place up in Heaven
There where all your burdens he will relieve

Back Again

The fond memories of my childhood
Linger in my heart on this rainy day
Back to when life was much simpler
It's now I wish it had stayed that way

I remember rain on that old tin roof
Somehow it would lull me to sleep
So poor our tick was filled with straw
Precious memories I will ever keep

With an old dry cell radio to listen to
For there was no electric in our home
We would listen to different stations
There we could let our minds roam

Today we have modern conveniences
I would trade them all to go back to then
God gave me that peaceful time of life
In Heaven, He will give it back again

What Would You Do

If Jesus came to your house what would you do
Ask Him in and pretend you never was a sinner
Or be humble and say welcome to a sinners home
Then would you give Him your finest plate for dinner

Would you take out the newest sheets for His bed
While you slept on ones you had in the guest room
Would you sleep without thoughts of being put out
Or would you have a sleepless night full of gloom

Would you kill your last chicken for His dinner
Knowing not where you would find your next meal
These things you would need to know the answer
If His visit to your home was today and was real

I will tell you one thing that is certain and is sure
He is in your house every minute of every day
Don't think you can ever hide anything from Him
Always be trueful to Him every time that you pray

Visions Of Heaven

No one can tell me how beautiful Heaven will be
No words can describe what we will find up there
God has built a place for us believers to be happy
He has made a world of love that we can all share

Saying in my Father's house are many mansions
Jesus is telling us He wants us with Him up there
Where for all eternity we will live and worship Him
He will forever keep us in His tender loving care

When I get to that Grand place that we call Heaven
What joy shall overflow my heart and I shall weep
Knowing my Savior has given me this great home
For the belief I have in Him, that I shall ever keep

When we all gather around Him up in Gloryland
What a wonderful time we will see in that Jubilee
There will be singing songs that will Honor Him
Then what a glorious celebration we all shall see

I Would Run

We are all creatures created by God
None will act the same or think alike
Some may want to sit for many hours
While other prefer taking a long hike

No matter what you are thinking now
What ever you might have on your mind
Know our Blessed Savior has saved you
That gives a feeling both warm and kind

When He died on that old rugged cross
He purged the sins of both you and me
He shed His blood on that terrible day
So we could all be saved and sin free

So even though we are all a bit different
He wants us to know He loves everyone
If I had a choice of the way of seeing Jesus
I wouldn't hesitate one minute, I would run
