God’s Reunion
God’s planning a reunion
In heaven’s courts above
Where all His many children
Will gather in His love.
We’ll meet our older brothers
And sisters from the past,
And swap the happy stories
Of getting there at last.
With laughter and rejoicing,
Our songs will fill the air
When all of us together
Assemble over there.
Oh, what a glad reunion
Will crown that happy day
When all the Father’s family
Is gathered home to stay!

Heaven’s Welcome
I almost see the welcome
That’s waiting just for you
Beyond the gates of heaven
When you have stepped right through:
The glowing light of heaven –
God’s presence all around,
The sweetest songs all filling
The air with joyful sound,
The pure and lovely fragrance
Of home sweet home at last,
The wide-awake, glad feeling
Of life when pain is past,
The dear ones gone before you
All gathered round the throne,
The fuller understanding
Of all you’ve ever known,
And best of all the Savior
Who’ll welcome you above
To share His life forever
In perfect peace and love.

“For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.” 2 Peter 1:11
A Stone of Purest White
Revelation 2:17
I’ll stand before God’s holy throne
And meet my Judge someday;
I have no fear because in Christ
I know just what He’ll say.
He’ll give a stone of purest white
Which He has promised me;
It shows the verdict – innocent –
And serves as heaven’s key.
And in that stone a precious name,
For I will be His own;
The Lord will claim me on that day
I stand before His throne.

“He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.” Revelation 2:17
Now I See Him
I knew God through the time I spent
In Scripture and in prayer,
I heard Him in the still small voice
That showed His tender care.
I saw Him in His mighty works
And little blessings too,
The things He sent to show His love
And prove His Word was true.
But now I see Him with my eyes
And truly hear His voice,
I know Him as He knew me then –
It makes my heart rejoice!
The things I prayed for those I love
I’ve asked Him face to face,
And He’s assured me He will work
With strong and loving grace.
He’s just the same as what He said
So, trust in Him today –
Proclaim His love, believe His Word,
And seek Him as you pray.

He’s Coming
The money markets waver
Earth’s kings and queens pass on
While wars and threats increasing
Bring famine as their pawn
But in these situations
We should not be surprised
Or wring our hands in anguish
At what the world’s devised
For Jesus surely told us
These things would all increase
Before His promised coming
When He will bring true peace
He told us in the turmoil
To lift our heads and look
Because He’d be appearing
While kingdoms rose and shook
So do not be afrighted
The Lord is on our side
And till He comes to get us
Within us He’ll abide

What Will It Be in Heaven?
What will it be in heaven
To see my Savior’s face –
To have the words to thank Him
For all His love and grace?
What will it be in heaven
To feel no pain again –
Forgetting all the troubles
And sorrows that have been?
What will it be in heaven
To say goodbye no more –
Forever with faith’s family
On God’s celestial shore?
What will it be in heaven
To never shed a tear –
To feel no fear or heartache
Where days are never drear?
What will it be in heaven
To never, ever sin –
To never face temptation
Or feel its pull within?
What will it be in heaven?
Until I fully know
I see enough to thrill me
And make life’s pathway glow.
