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
Who Have You Told?
Just stop a spell and think about
The one who told to you
The precious news that Jesus saves
And offers life that’s new.
You see their face and hear their voice
When thinking of the day
You first believed and knew for sure
Your sins were washed away.
Now who can stop and picture you
When thinking of the time
They found the Lord and by His grace
Began the upward climb?
If you’ll be one who takes the time
To share the Savior’s love,
Just think of all the friends you’ll take
To heaven’s home above.

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.

That Spot He’s Made for Me
I still don’t know what place for me
The Lord has made above
Or what He wants to do through me
In tender grace and love
But this I know – He has a plan
A place for me to fill
And He’s preparing me today
According to His will
So I will yield with eager heart
To all that He ordains
Because I trust His plan for me
Though rarely He explains
For by His grace I want to be
Just what He hoped and planned
To fill the spot He’s made for me
In heaven’s happy land

Ask, Seek, Knock
Do you have a need or want?
Come and ask the Lord;
You will find that you receive
Plentiful reward.
Do you need God’s guidance here?
Seek His perfect will;
You will find He guides you right
If you’ll follow still.
Do you long for fellowship?
Knock upon the door;
Christ Himself will open it –
“Welcome evermore.”
