In heaven there's great rejoicing
In
heaven there's great rejoicing
For one who turns to God,
Much more then we can fathom,
Who walk this earthly sod.
For it is God's desire
That no one should be lost,
And so He sent the Savior
For sin to pay the cost.
For one who comes to God
Through Jesus Christ, our Savior,
Our Staff and, too, our Rod.
Christ knocks upon the heart's door
Awaiting our response;
Let there be joy in heaven...
Believe in God's dear Son!

(Luke
15:7)
I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in
heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more
than over ninety and nine just persons, which
need no repentance.
(Luke 15:10)
Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the
presence of the angels of God over one sinner
that repenteth.
"FOLLOW ME"
"Take up your cross and follow Me,
"The light grows dim,
"My yoke is sweet, My burden light,
"Take up your cross and
follow Me,
Wherever I may lead,
Your back will ache, your feet grow
tired,
And yes, your heart will bleed.
But we shall walk together,
And I will share your lot,
For I am always with you,
And will forget you not."
And I will fill your days
With joy that only I can give,
In many precious ways.
So learn to know me better,
For there are miles to go,
And rest your head upon my Heart,
...For I have loved you so."
The dusk descends,
The sunlight turns to shade,
I give my angels charge of you,
So do not be afraid.
But trust in Me and do not grieve,
For what has come and gone,
I will provide for all your needs,
...Because you are My own."
No matter where you roam,
Remember earth will pass away,
But heaven is your home.
How very brief a time man walks
Upon this earthly sod,
So love Me as I first loved you,
...And know that I AM GOD."
