In Heaven my house will be by the forest overlooking the sea With ferns and redwood trees on either side of my door But til then I’m growing in Jesus…that’s worth more than houses or lands And the very best part of Heaven will be Him.

 

I’ll have a mansion in that City, I know that’s where you’ll find me After flying through the galaxies and exploring the stars But for now I’ll learn to serve Jesus, and spread the word of His awesome love And let them know the best part of Heaven will be Him.

 

And right now I may be poor and living in the desert It really doesn’t matter, for I’m rich in Jesus And yes, sometimes life is hard, He never promised something easy But in the end Heaven is cheap enough, for at last I’ll see Him.

 

And I can hardly wait for that day when He finally comes and takes us away And we’ll reach that beautiful place we’ve waited so long to see And we’ll cast our crowns at His feet, for we wouldn’t be there but for Him Yes, the very best part of Heaven will be Jesus Yes, the very best part of Heaven will be Jesus.

Neither faints nor is weary   (Is 40:28)

 

Chorus 1:

And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient, sufficient for you, For My strength is made perfect in weakness.”

For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal But mighty in God for pulling down strongholds….and every high thing  (2 Corin. 10:4-5)

Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit…(Zechariah 4:6) It is God Who arms me with strength  (Ps 18:32) And makes my way perfect; I can do all things

A Place For You

 

Let not your heart be troubled

You believe in God, believe also in Me

In My Fathers house are many mansions

If it were not so, I would have told you.

 

Chorus

I go to prepare a place for you

And if I go to prepare a place for you

I will come again, I will come again.

 

And receive you to Myself

That where I am, there you may be also

Let not your heart be troubled

John fourteen verses  one through three.

 

-Chorus-

 

 

The Promise

 

1

Scoffers will come in the last days, walking

According to their own lusts

Saying where is the promise of His coming?

For since the fathers fell asleep

All things continue

(Just) as they were from the beginning…

Second Peter 3verse 3&4.

 

Chorus 1:

But beloved do not forget this one thing

That with the Lord one day is as a  thousand years

The Lord is not slack concerning His promise

As some count slackness, but is long suffering toward us.

 

Yes, beloved do not forget this one thing

That with the Lord…a thousand years is as one day…

He’s long suffering toward us, not willing that any should perish,

But that all should come to repentance, verses 8 & 9.

 

2

The sun shall will be turned into darkness

And the moon into blood

Before the coming of the great and awesome day of The Lord.

And it shall come to pass that whoever

Calls upon the name of The Lord

Shall be saved, Joel 2 verse 31 (&32)

 

Chorus 2:

But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night

In which the heavens will pass away with a great noise

And the elements will melt with fervent heat

Both the earth and works…in it will be burned up.

 

Therefore since all these things will be dissolved

What manor of persons ought you to be

In holy conduct and godliness

Looking for and hastening the coming of God?

2nd Peter 3:10-12.

If possible even the elect.

And flashes to the west, so also will be

The coming of the Son of Man

Verse 27

Do not go out, do not believe it

Behold He’s coming with clouds

And every eye will see Him, even they who pierced Him

And all the tribes of earth will mourn because of Him

And then all the tribes of the earth…will see the son of man coming

On the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

And they will gather together His elect from the four winds

From one end of heaven to the other, Matthew 24 verse 30 & 31.

Breath Of Life

As a Cloud

 

1

Whatever your hand finds to do

Do it with your might

For there’s no work or device, or knowledge or wisdom

(Down) in the grave where you are going.

 

For the living know that they will die

But the dead know nothing, and they’ve no more reward

For the memory of them is forgotton

Also their love, hatred and envy have perished.

Nevermore will they have a share

In anything done under the sun.

Ecclesiastes 9:5,6&10

Does not come up; he shall never return

To his house, nor shall his place know him anymore.

Nevermore will they have  a share

In anything done under the sun.

Who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light

Whom no man has seen or can see

To Whom be honor and everlasting power.

First Timothy 6:15&16

 

Most assuredly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is

When the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God;

And those who hear will live, for as the Father has life in Him…

So He has granted the Son to have life in Him…

 

He Who is the blessed….

 

Do not marvel at this for the hour is coming

In which all…in the graves will hear His voice and come forth

Those who have done good to the resurrection of life

And those who have done evil to the resurrection of condemnation.

John 5:25-29 (except v.27)

 

Most assuredly I say to you…

 

He Who is the blessed….

 

 

 

Eternal Mercy

 

1

For God so loved the world That he gave his only begotten Son

That whoever believes in him should not perish (die)

But have everlasting life

 

(But) the destruction of transgressors and of

sinners shall be together

They that forsake the LORD shall be consumed.

Is 1:28

 

Chorus 1

As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure

In the death of the wicked

But that the wicked turn from his way and live

Turn, turn from your evil ways (and live)

For why will ye die?

With His Feathers

Ps 91

 

1

He that dwelleth in the secret place

Of the Most High shall abide

Under the shadow of the Almighty

I will say of The Lord…

 

He is my refuge and my fortress

My God, in Him I will trust

Surely He will deliver thee

From the snare of the fowler and…the pestilence.

 

Chorus 1:

He shall cover thee

With His feathers and under His wings

You shall take refuge;

His truth shall be your shield and your buckler.

 

2

You shall not be afraid

For the arrow that flies by day

Nor for the terror

By night.

 

Nor for the pestilence

That walketh in darkness

Nor for the destruction

That lays waste at noonday.

 

Chorus 2:

A thousand shall fall at your side

And ten thousand at your right hand

But it shall not come near you

You shall look and behold the reward of the wicked.

 

Bridge:

Because you have made The Lord Who is my refuge

Even the Most High, your dwelling place

No evil shall befall you

Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling…

He shall give His angels charge over you

To keep you in all your ways

They shall bear you up in their hands

Lest you dash your foot against a stone.

 

Chorus 3:

Because he has set his love on Me

Therefore Will I deliver him

I will set him on high

Because he has known My name

 

He shall call upon Me

And I’ll answer him and be with him in trouble

I’ll deliver him and honor him

With long life I’ll satisfy him, and show him my salvation.

 

 

The Last Trumpet

 

1

Behold, I tell you a mystery

We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed

In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye

At the last trumpet, at the last trumpet.

 

Chorus 1:

For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised

Incorruptible, and  we shall be changed

For this corruptible must put on incorruption

And this mortal put on immortality

Death is swallowed up in victory.

O, Death, where is your sting?

O, Hades, where is you victory?

1 Corinthians 15:51

 

2

For this we say unto you

By the word of The Lord, that we who are alive

And reman until the coming of The Lord

Will by no means precede those who are asleep.

 

Chorus 2:

For The Lord Himself will descend from Heaven

With a shout, with the voice of an archangel

And with the trumpet of God, yes the trumpet of God

And the dead in Christ will rise first.

Yes the dead in Christ will rise first.

1 Thessalonians 4:15-18

O, Death, where is your sting?

O, Hades, where is your victory?

 

Bridge:

To those who eagerly await for Him, He will appear a second time…

Looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ….

Hebrews 9:28 and Titus 2:13

 

3

Then we who are alive and remain

Shall be caught up together with them in the clouds

To meet The Lord in the air

And thus we shall always be with The Lord

Therefore comfort one another with these words.

 

-Chorus 2-

 

 

Passing Through

Words and music by Margo Westmoreland Blehm

 

1

It’s treasure that I’m searching for

And everyday I find some more

And it’s telling me that we are near the end

This treasure is those words of life

They drip with honey, shine as light

And they’re telling me my home’s around the bend

 

Chorus 1:

So press on forward, move ahead

Raise your eyes and lift your head

Things are happening, it won’t be long it’s true

Watch for the signs along the way

We’re getting closer every day

This world is not our home, were only passing through

 

2

It’s heaven that I’m waiting for

And everyday I miss it more

I’m longing for my home up in the sky

And I’m hoping that you’ll come along

And join me as we sing that song

Get ready, it will soon be time to fly!

 

-Chorus 1-

 

Chorus 2:

Reach for your neighbor, grab a hand

Press together, take a stand

Things are happening, it won’t be long, I know

Watch for the the signs along the way

We’re getting closer everyday

We’re just passing through

This world is not our home

 

Yes, We’re just passing through

This world is not our home

 

 

It Is Done

 

 

1

And I heard a great voice from heaven saying

Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men

And He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people

 

And God Himself shall be with them, and be their God.

And…wipe away all tears from their eyes

There shall be no more death neither sorrow, nor crying

Neither….any more pain

For the former things are passed away.    (Rev 21:3-4)

 

Chorus:

And it shall be said in that day

Lo, this is our God; we have waited for Him, and He will save us

This is the LORD; we have waited for Him

We will be glad and rejoice in His salvation.    (Isaiah 25:9)

 

2

He that sat on the throne said…I make all things new…

Write, for these words are faithful and true     (Rev 21:5)

And I saw a new heaven and…earth… and there was no more sea.     (Verse 1)

 

He will swallow up death in victory

And the Lord God will wipe away all tears from (their eyes)…

The rebuke of His people shall He take away

From off all the earth

For the LORD hath spoken it.        (Isaiah 25:8)

 

-Chorus-

 

Bridge:

And He said unto me, It is done

I’m the Alpha…Omega…beginning and the end

I will give unto him that is thirsty

Of the fountain of the water of life freely (Rev 21:6)

 

Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and He will save us

This is the LORD; we have waited for Him

 

Lo, this is our God; we have waited for Him, and he will save us

This is the LORD; we have waited for Him

 

Lo, this is our God; we have waited for Him, and he will save us

This is the LORD; we have waited for Him

We will be glad and rejoice

Yes we will be glad and rejoice in His salvation.
