I hear the angels
Calling out His Name
I hear the angels
His love they proclaim
I hear the angels
Singing up on high
Singing of His love
In Heaven’s great sky
I hear the angels
Singing in my spirit
I hear the angels
Oh! How I feel it!
I hear the angels
Calling me to see
Calling, Yes calling my Master to me!
I will sing my song for Jesus
Because to Him my soul belongs
I will sing of His dieing to save me
I will sing of His glory devine
I will sing my song for Jesus
Praying that others will sing along
I will sing praises to His Name in Glory
I will sing of the great eternal story
I will sing my song for Jesus
Because to Him my soul belongs.
I dream of a faraway beautiful land
A place that is majestic and grand
With gates of pearls and jasper stone
I dream of a mansion that is all my own
With airy rooms so light and free
Surrounded by a brillant crystal sea
I dream of my Savior’s beautiful face
Who will come and take me to this holy place
For He has promised and will keep His Word
I dream of His white horse and flaming sword
The angels singing harmony across the skies
As He removes the evil with its tormented cries
I dream of going to my eternal place in glory
For I believed the Bible’s old, old story
Now I dream that all will heed the warning
And get right with God before the morning
He will split the Eastern sky with lightning bright
It will not be a dream visiting you in the night
I invite you to go with me to that beautiful faraway land.
A Savior came from on high
To save their souls and to testify
He was their eternal Legacy sent by God
Who was to be honored and glorified
“We’ll preach the Word from coast to coast!”
The people they all cried.
Then put Him on cruel Calvary
When for His kingdom they were tried.
They feared Him. They knew not why.
So they watched as He went to die.
They watched as He was crucufied!
“Forgive them!” They heard Him cry.
Then for their sins He had to die!
OH, GLORY BE TO GOD! HE DIED FOR ME!
So I will be Your testimony!
I will live my life as You will see
To the very best of my ability!
And with the help of Your Spirit true
I will honor this Legacy sent from You!
Jumbled words
Fell from my mouth
As I made my excuses
Why I didn’t have to listen
To their voices of concern
For my eternal soul.
“It wasn’t my fault!”
“Everyone is doing it!”
“It’s my life and I’ll do what I want!”
“You can’t tell me what to do!”
“I’m grown now!”
“You are not my boss!”
Oh! How I wish I could
Take them all back
For love had tried to teach me
To warn me what lay ahead
When I walked in the ways of sin.
Flames of fire now
Lick at my soul
I knew everything in my arrogance
Thought I was something
On my own and told my parents so
With the cruelest of attitudes
Oh! How I wish I could
Take them all back
For love had tried to teach me
To warn me of what lay ahead
When I walked in the ways of sin.
“Daddy, I am so sorry!”
“Mama, can I wipe your tears away?”
“I want to feel your cool hands of love
Upon my brow again!”
“It is so hot here!”
“Darkness!”
“Oh, God forgive me!”
Cool hands caress my face
I open my eyes
Daddy’s prayer so full of love
Wakes me from my horrible dream.
I am awake now but eternally changed
For with love all is not lost!
I have listened and finally heard
Their voices of sweet, saving love.
When my life took
It’s turn towards the bad
Jagged edges of my soul
Lashed out with all it had
Blaming tongue-regretful sighs
Pointing fingers mirrored
By accusing eyes.
I chose this path
Trodden down so well
Not one person made me go
Seemed easier-this road to hell
With it’s trail of thorns
Wasn’t anyone else’s fault
No one but my own.
Now I just need to repent
Of self-serving arrogance
My pride that should have went
When it first was given the chance
I want to kneel and really pray
For God to show me just how
To be a follower of His Son today
For only in my desperate heart
Can I truly know His peace alone
And reach my final destination
This place I call my heavenly Home!
Bound by eternity
(We have to go-even in death)
Ties ever strong
(Can’t be broken)
Keep pulling forward
(The future)
To farther along
(Can’t stay where we are)
Forever guided by our expansion of more
(Always wanting more-never satisfied)
Needs ever filling
(Trying to appease desires)
Needs never met
(Falling short of the goal)
Comparing the two
(Loosing faith in ourselves and others)
It’s not over yet!
(There is still time)
Taking and giving
(Selfishness and caring)
Replacing the void
(Emptiness of soul)
Time never spent
(Not even trying)
Hurts to avoid
(Fear of rejection)
Eyes toward the future
(Must keep going-don’t look back)
Seeing no end
(Eternity is forever)
Mortals walking
(Humanity as a whole)
Souls to ascend
(We will all stand before God)
Lost in the darkness
(Can’t find the way)
Calls to the light
(We want to see)
Ever trying
(Helping as we can)
Doing what’s right
(Even when we don’t want to)
Heaven eternal
(Final destination)
Granting the dream
(Fulfillment)
Finding the river
(Living Water of Life)
Of mercy’s sweet stream
(Forgiveness)
Cords of compassion
(Unconditonal love)
Eternity bound
(Saved by grace for all time)
Forever forward-Forever found.
Hope danced across my heart today
Bringing joy in such an amazing way
Doubt had said, “This can’t be done!”
Truth spoke, “Just have faith in the Holy One!”
Questions departed when the answers came
My mind settled down with belief in His Name
Why? moved aside as the Word was spoken
His love had made new all that was broken.
Blessed Creator of Heaven and Earth
Glorious Redeemer by Thy Son’s holy birth
Holy Father, Giver of all
Blessed Savior of those that do call.
Ready and willing to enter your hearts
Love and forgiveness to you He imparts
Day after day, forever the same
All you do is call on His Name.
Love and contentment are mine to claim
My peaceful existence is always the same
Never more fearful with my Lord I am brave
Because I gave to Him my sin-filled heart to save.
My Lord carried my cross up Calvary’s hill
Bore on His back the stripes that would heal
Forgave me my sins, made me white as snow
So with out-stretched arms up to Heaven I go.
I am the one who did not return to say “Thank You.”
I am the one who mocked in my ignorance
I am the one who spit in His face
I am the one who pulled out His beard
I am the one who scourged Him
I am the one who nailed Him to the cross
I am the one who gambled for His robe
I am the one who denied Him
I am the one who betrayed Him
Yet He did not judge but loved.
I am the one who sat at His feet and cried her tears of gratitude
I am the one who pressed through the crowd
I am the one who was to be stoned when caught in my disgrace
I am the one who was a blind beggar but now can see
I am the one at the well who was given ‘Living Water”
I am the one who was dead but now my mama cradles me
I am the one who was a lunatic but am now in my right mind
Because He did not judge but healed.
I am the one who knelt at an old-fashioned altar
And accepted Him as my Savior and Lord
I am the one who daily brings my love and offerings of praise
I am the one who is set free from my past
I am the one who will not taste God’s eternal wrath to come
I am the one who is His Bride
I am the one who will ride the ‘white horse’ across the skies of heaven
I am the one He died for on cruel Calvary
I am the one who believed John 3:16-‘For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.’
I am the one who the Great I AM calls His Own
I am the one who is the beloved of the ‘Beloved’
Because He did not judge but saved.
