"Sailing Home To Glory"
Soon we will sail to heaven's fair land
Lay down all our burdens, at Jesus feet,
We'll be safe with Jesus for evermore,
Resting in heaven on God's golden shore.
We won't worry about the stormy winds
As we sail towards our home in heaven,
We will sing glory, glory, Halleljah,
We'll live and reign with Jesus forever.
We will sit with the redeemed by the river
And view the great fountain of life,
We'll feast on the manna from heaven,
And dwell in that sweet Beulah land.
God's love is as deep as the ocean
Though the shadows often come our way,
Safe in the life boat with Jesus,
Oh what a beautiful glorious day!
On this earth we cross so many rivers
And feel like it will never end,
Someday we'll relax on the banks of the river,
Spending eternity with Jesus forever.
Will you journey with me to Jordan's fair land?
Where the saints of the ages have gathered,
What a time over there we all will share,
We'll live with Jesus and our loved ones there.
All together at the river with Jesus
Sitting down by the beautiful stream,
No tears, sickness, sorrow, or hurt anymore,
Living forever on God's Celestial shore.

"On God's Celestial Shore"
We look forward to entering into Heaven
with Jesus and our loved ones some day.
When we hear all the things that is happening
in our world today we get home sick for Heaven.
As Christians we have glorious things to look
forward to if we are found faithful when Jesus
comes to take us home. He has a lovely
Mansion prepared in Heaven for all the Saints.
Yes we will enjoy the banks of the river sitting
down away from all that tear us down here on
earth. God just wants us to keep our eyes
upon Him and tell others of His love day by
day. We have to trust Jesus for all our
tomorrow's. Yes the battles will still rage
while living down here but we have a safe
haven to run to always. He is always close
by, just waits for us to run into His big strong
arms. So there He can cuddle and comfort
all of His children. God can make our rough
paths smooth. Through all the valley's His
grace is still sufficient for today. He is
always looking down and wants our best
attention so we can be drawn closer to Him.
Often we lose sight of Jesus but He never
gives up on one of us. He is the greatest
Model for today living and will always be.
He is the Pearl of greatest price that
we sing about sometimes.
God wants us to be His springs of living
waters that will glorify Him and love will
flow out into our towns so others too will
come to know Him. Everytime we share
Him and speak His name to others we
honor our Lord. The things in life
sometimes take us away from God,
then our souls become so weary that
we cry out to Him and find that He was
there all the time. God's fountain of love
is always flowing we can enter anytime
into His holy of holies and tell Him
anything that concerns us, and what
concerns us concerns God! On God's
golden shore all is going to be beautiful.
Jesus himself will be our Lighthouse!
How wonderful. Let's look forward of
entering Jordan's fair land never again
to part anymore. Jesus will return some
beautiful day and gather all His children
home. I pray He will find us watching
and waiting so we together will rejoice
around God's beautiful throne.
