What It Takes

When I meet with you up in Heaven

Our love for sweet Jesus we will give

There we will meet and greet old friends

It is an eternal life with God we will live

On Earth we found and loved Jesus

His words brought solace to my heart

He has saved my soul from the devil

With these feelings we shall never part

It makes me happy to know dear Jesus

He will lead me through that pearly gate

He will open that portal and will let me in

Come with me and please don’t be late

There is no other place like God’s Heaven

Filled with the wonders that only God makes

He has made this place for believers of God

Your heart felt belief in God is what it takes

Shall Never Part

I am meeting Jesus this morning

When the dew is still on the rose

Light wispy clouds drift overhead

A lamb lies near by in silent repose

We will walk and talk in the sunlight

All His words are heard by my ears

He tells me of that great Holy City

His smooth voice calms my fears

He tells me how it was on the Earth

Despised by many loved by some

He was harassed by nonbelievers

Even some thought he was scum

As He tells me of His eternal Kingdom

Feelings of grandeur fills up my heart

I know that one day there we will walk

Once there Jesus and I shall never part

The Old Poet

The poets pen now lays unused on the desk

It’s ink has dried and no rhymes will it make

It dried the day the poet breathed no more

That day we felt as if our hearts would break

Pain in his fingers made it hard to hold the pen

Still he, with God’s help would struggle through

Words would come to him as if they were magic

There were times that he didn’t have even a clue

In his younger days words came so easy to him

Making then rhyme he knew was a gift from God

His work was finished and all his writings were over

That day we laid the poet under the Earth’s sod

We wonder if God will like the old poets work

When he writes his poetry up there in Heaven

On Earth he was sure that God gave the words

Or else not one of his poems would ever be done

I am On My Way

I know my Lord is here when I need Him

He stands by me every minute of the day

Feelings of love now flow through my body

He hears the words every time that I pray

Each day He makes my world much better

For I know that some day Heaven I will see

To live in a world that only God could create

Will one day bring happiness to you and me

We know that our God is a good God that lives

Just look around and tell everyone what you see

A world where everyone has our God’s promise

That we can live with our Heavenly Father eternally

I know that one day I shall live in that great land

Where time will not be counted by an hour or day

But where He has made a Heaven to live forever

I hope one day you will join me for I am on my way

Give Me The Nod

One day I will meet you up in Heaven

There all our prayers will come true

We will join in God’s Holy convention

We will know if a crown for us is due

There we will meet our Lord and Master

Find friends who had come here before

Walk in the fertile Green fields of Clover

Find love in our friend Jesus forever more

We will see streets that are lined with Gold

Castles made of granite shaded alabaster

See beauty our eyes had never seen before

All made for us by our great Lord and Master

If you should go first and I remain on Earth

My days will be filled with prayers with God

I know when it becomes my time to join you

Our Heavenly Father will give me the nod

Faithfully True

When the gnarly fingers of death overtake me

My life on this old Earth will be over and done

I shall be on that road up to the promised land

Once there I will know my victory has been won

There I shall see the glory of our God’s Kingdom

Never to feel or know the pain of a mortal again

Live in that beautiful home He has built for us all

Our happiness will abound like it has never been

We shall see the ones who passed on before us

Dear ones that had departed with our great love

We grieved then but now find these divine feelings

Feelings that can only come from our God above

If you read the Holy Bible and believe in its words

Confess your sins and ask our God to forgive you

Your home will be with all of us believers in Jesus

To Him we will always and forever be faithfully true

Watching Over Me

Although the valley is filled with dark shadows

Walking along with my Savior gives light to see

There is no fear from knowing my troubled past

Because I know my Lord is watching over me

He shall lift me from this valley that is so dark

Bring me up to the height of the morning Sun

Show me all the beauty in Heaven He created

Give me a crown for the victory that I have won

Forever shall I abode in the house He made me

Live in complete harmony with those living there

Hear the harps played by the angels great band

Know I shall ever be in my loving Father’s care

Only happiness shall be seen in the land up high

Feelings of sadness will be left in the land below

Everyone will be treated with love and compassion

All because our Lord and Savior does love us so

Time For A Reason

God has given us time for a reason

A time to be born and a time to die

What we do with the time He gives

Will send us to Heaven if we comply

He asks that we confess our sins

Also we must believe in His name

We know that He is our only God

That Heaven is real not just a game

Alway remember that Jesus lives

Our Lord is not some kind of a fable

You can find the answer to all questions

If you will start reading the Holy Bible

So from your cradle to the cold grave

You will have time to give God your love

He will show you a land that is beautiful

When you ascend to Heaven up above

Filled With Love

My Lord is always with me

So I shall never walk alone

He comforts me as we talk

Never shall I be on my own

He tells me of a great home

Where I shall for eternity live

There will be love in His heart

That He will forever to me give

How happy He has made me

Knowing I will have a new life

Lifted from a very evil old world

Where I will never again see strife

That day when He welcomes me

To that glorious land far up above

I shall tell Him what is in my heart

How only for Him it is filled with love
