No Delays

The conditions are always favorable for those who're heaven bound,

No matter if there's lots of fog or piles of snow covering the ground.
There will be smooth sailing, that is after the final call is made,
Then tickets won't be necessary because the fare's already been paid.

Preparations for this journey are different from those taken in the past,
For the ones who are making it, know it'll be their best and their last.
They'll not worry about leaving things behind whenever they depart,
After all, they only take the truths they have stored in their heart.

This journey's available and affordable to all people, there's no fee,
It has been paid for by a Sinless Man Who died upon Calvary's Tree.
He was The Son of God, Who came to save sinners from a sea of sin,
The blood He shed will open heaven's doors, allowing them to go in.

Many saints have already taken this journey in those times gone by,
Safely in Jesus' arms and never again having to face Satan's lie.
If they could send us a message, I believe it'd be something like this,
To all who will listen, heaven's the one place you cant afford to miss.

He Paints The Autumn Leaves

The feel of autumn's in the air.
We'll now don our long sleeves.
We'll ride up through the mountains
To view the pretty autumn leaves.

They call their land "God's country."
There are beautiful sights to view.
White houses dot the hill sides.
We see majestic church steeples too.

The pretty foliage brightens up
This lovely mountain scene.
Bright red, yellow, and orange leaves
Replace all the summer green.

We behold all the majestic beauty
Of our great, holy Artist's hand.
Only God can paint this picture
And spread His mural o'er the land.

Cleansed!

Forgiveness divine,

repent and receive
the beauty of grace
when you believe.

Bathe in His mercy,
pardoning and free
healing and restoring
until all of eternity.

Washed of your sin,
released from shame
when you trust Jesus
nothing is the same.

Healing compassion,
immersion of love
blood of the Son
a gift from above.

Forgiveness divine,
today is the day
mercy and grace
is just a prayer away!

1 John 1:9

King James Version

"If we confess our sins, he is faithful
and just to forgive us our sins, and to 
cleanse us from all unrighteousness."

STUFF

When push comes to shove

in this game of life
and there never seems quiet enough
when you're there in the crosshairs
of Satan's sights
and life has become so tough
when it's all said and done
and it's time to go
seems life's been only a puff
ask yourself if you're in love with God
or just in love with His stuff.
