Poetry About Jesus and Salvation

Thinking About Home

Going Home

I’m going home, I’m going home

I can feel it in my bones

I can almost hear the heavenly choir singing

in sweet angelic tones

In this earthly tabernacle

I do groan and am burdened

to be clothed with my home in heaven

where eternity I will spend

I’m willing to be absent from the body

and be present with my Lord

Just to be released from this body of sin

will be a great reward

I am eager for and long to

put off this corruptible body of clay

and to be at blessed rest

in Heaven’s eternal day

II Corinthians 5:1  For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.

II Peter 1:14  Knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me.

Just Think

Just think of stepping

on the peaceful golden shore

and hearing the heavenly harps play

with its beauty gallore

Just think of the majestic voices

of the choir sing

praises throughout all eternity

to Jesus the Lord and King

Just think of hearing the horns

play a melodic symphony

where there will be

no discordance or disharmony

Just think of finishing our course

and going to our home

never again to wander off track

and never again to roam

Just think of hearing Jesus say

"Well done"

The race now being over

and eternity has just begun

Just think how much

peace will be in that place

and how glad we will be

we are saved by his grace

Just think how wonderful

it will be to end our pilgram journey

and be in that glorious land

forever throughout eternity

Just think of never again having

a battle with the flesh or the devil

To be up high above it

on a different plane and level

Just think of seeing loved ones

who are waiting in that land in the sky

We will see them again

and never have to say good bye

Just think how close it is

and how soon we will be there

It may even be today

we'll be breathing in the new celestrial air

Philippians 4:8 ..... whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

Mansion In The Sky

My bags are all packed

and I'm ready to go

When Jesus comes for me

he won't be slow

He is going to come quickly

in the twinkling of an eye

I'm going to be with Jesus

in my mansion in the sky

It won't be much longer

just a few more weary days to stay

Then will be the glorious dawning

of a brand new day

Our labors and trials will be over

when we're in our new home

The victory will be won

never again on the earth to roam

If you want to have a mansion

in the sky with me

just trust Jesus as your savior

for he has paid your fee

It was all because of the

great price Jesus paid

that I could be forgiven

and have my mansion made

My mansion is built by

Jesus' own hand

and there will be great rejoicing

in that house so grand

We'll be so happy to be with

Jesus the King

and all our praises and thanks

to Him we will bring

John 14:2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
