I’ve Got God’s Strength ~

I’ve got God’s strength,
it makes me strong
I trust it to keep me
sturdy all the day long.

When troubles I meet,
I face them head on
for I have the power
of His begotten Son.

I’ve got God’s might,
it makes me robust
it’s helps me each day
my life to Him entrust.

When worry I face,
I just keep hanging on
for I have the fortitude
of His resurrected Son.

I’ve got God’s strength,
each day it gets stronger . . .
it keeps my eyes on His Son
in case, He tarries longer!

~~~~~~~~

Ephesians 6:10

Finally, my brethren,
be strong in the Lord,
and in the power
of his might.

My Future Home ~

I like interactions,
about my future life
not about this one . . .
full of daily strife.

For up in heaven,
is where I long to be
so that I can at last
Jesus finally see.

I like to converse,
about life eternal
not about this one
full of upheaval.

For I look forward,
to that glorious day
when in the clouds
Jesus takes me away.

I like discussions,
about my future home
for it’s where my mind . . .
often drifts and roams!

Philippians 3:20

For our conversation is in heaven;
from whence also we look for the
Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:

Isaiah 41:10

It Is You Lord ~

Lord, it is You who keeps,
my lamp burning . . .
it is for Your guidance
my heart stays yearning.

It is You who gives,
me hope and trust
it is in Your Word
my soul stays trussed.

Lord, it is You who keeps,
my faith steady
it is for Your return
my mind stays ready.

It is Your eternal love,
I keep my eyes on
it is Your Way and Life
to which I am drawn.

Lord, It is You who keeps,
my life full of Light
it is for You I will win
the good and faithful fight!

The light of the body is the eye:
if therefore thine eye be single,

Will Your Faith Remain ~

Will your faith remain,
or will it be shaken
will it be asleep
or in Jesus awaken?

Will your trust stay,
on the vine abiding
or will it be found
on it to be dying?

Will your hope be,
eternal and everlasting
or will it be without
truth and understanding?

Will your belief hold,
or will it be moved
will the Word of God
still need to be proved?

Will your faith remain,
or will it be upended
will it be on Jesus . . .
your salvation is depended?

~~~~~~~~

Hebrews 12:26-27

Whose voice then shook the earth:
but now he hath promised, saying,
Yet once more I shake not the
earth only, but also heaven.

And this word, Yet once more, signifieth
the removing of those things that are
shaken, as of things that are made,
that those things which cannot be
shaken may remain.

Matthew 24:36

Everyday It Gets Closer ~

Everyday that passes,
we are getting closer
and we need to wake up
all those who are dozers.

For the return of the Lord,
is drawing nearer . . .
with the passing of time
it’s become ever clearer.

Each hour that ticks by,
is just a minute sooner
when Jesus will come back
to be the world’s ruler.

We need to alert those,
who are still sleeping
of the teeth gnashing
in the place of weeping.

Everyday that passes,
every hour that ticks by . . .
brings us closer to seeing
Jesus coming back in the sky!

~~~~~~~~

Romans 13:11

And that, knowing the time,
that now it is high time to
awake out of sleep:
for now is our salvation nearer
than when we believed.

Matthew 25:30

And cast ye the unprofitable
servant into outer darkness:
there shall be weeping and
gnashing of teeth.

Rejoicing In Tribulation ~

When I’m knee deep,
in pain and suffering . . .
it’s in my future hope
for which I’m rejoicing.

For the glory to be had,
in today’s tribulation
will come on the day
of my own resurrection.

When I’m waist high,
in my cares and concerns
it’s with patience I wait
until Jesus returns.

For I stand in the faith,
of His future coming . . .
even through my troubles
are always incoming.

When trials I experience,
when tribulation I have to face
I can do so with rejoicing . . .
because of His saving grace!

~~~~~~~~

Romans 5:3-4

And not only so, but we glory
in tribulations also:
knowing that tribulation
worketh patience;

And patience, experience;
and experience, hope:

Revelation 22:7

Till Then I Must Endure ~

I don’t know the hour,
but I know for sure
Jesus will return . . .
till then I must endure.

For many will depart,
from the Life, Truth and Way
but on the narrow path . . .
I’m dedicating myself to stay.

I don’t know the moment,
nor does anyone . . .
only God knows the day
He will send back His Son.

So I need to be ready,
watchful, sober and alert
my eyes mustn’t ever
on Jesus turn or avert.

I don’t know when,
but I know it will be . . .
like a twinkling in my eye
when Jesus comes for me!

Mark 13:32

But of that day and that hour
knoweth no man, no, not the

neither the Son, but the Father.

Too Wonderful For Words ~

Too wonderful for words,
too glorious to explain . . .
is what God has in store
for those in Him who remain.

No one has ever seen,
no eyes have been given
a glimpse into paradise
for those who are forgiven.

Too wondrous for the heart,
too marvelous for the mind
the glory God will bring
to those no longer blind.

No ear has ever heard,
no listener has received
the tones of pure delight
from those no more deceived.

Too wonderful for words,
too glorious to understand . . .
the blissful sights and sounds
awaiting those who withstand!

1 Corinthians 2:9

But as it is written,
Eye hath not seen,
nor ear heard,
neither have entered
into the heart of man,

hath prepared for them
that love him.

Till He Comes For Me ~

Till for me He comes,
alone, I will not be
for Jesus is always . . .
right here next to me.

I will wait for Him,
without dread or fear
for my Lord and Savior
is always close and near.

Till for me He comes,
afraid, I will not be
for Jesus is always . . .
right here inside of me.

He will keep me safe,
as He makes His way
His peace I will claim
right up until that joyful day.

Till for me He comes,
fainthearted, I will not be
for His Spirit is always . . .
power and strength to me!

Revelation 21:1-27

The City of No Mores ~

In the City of No Mores,
is where I long to be . . .
oh, how I can hardly wait
until Jesus returns for me.

On the street of No More Tears.
we’ll never again weep or cry
for there will only be bliss
as every eye will be dry.

On the road of No More Pain,
we’ll be complete and whole
for we’ll have a new body
and a new glorified soul.

Down the path of No More Sin,
we will leap, jump and run
for our battle against satan
will be finally won.

On the way of No More Death,
there’ll be a jubilant parade
for from the devil evil-doings
we’ll never again be afraid.

In the City of No Mores,
is where we’ll spend eternity
and dwell in the mansion . . .
of No More Agony!

~~~~~~~~~~

Revelation 21:4

“And God shall wipe away
all tears from their eyes;
and there shall be no more death,
neither sorrow,
nor crying,
neither shall there be
any more pain:
for the former things
are passed away.”

The Time Is Getting Short ~

The time is impending,
satan is working overtime
we need to be ready . . .
for Jesus could come anytime.

We need to be aware,
of the ticking of the clock
for the devil’s out prowling
to devour up His flock.

The time is approaching,
each day it’s getting clearer
the awaited return of Christ
is getting so much nearer.

We need to be prepared,
as the hours roll on by
for in a second we may see
that twinkling in our eye.

The time is getting short,
each day we’re getting closer
to when Jesus comes again
and we must remain sober!

~~~~~~~~~~

Romans 13:11

And that, knowing the time,
that now it is high time
to awake out of sleep:
for now is our salvation
