I'm going Home with Jesus

[billym]

All the good post here have got me feeling good, I hope this post makes you feel how close we are to going home with Jesus




† I'm Going Home With Jesus †
(Chorus)...sing three times......
I'm going home with Jesus, in the twinkling of an eye.
I've made my reservation, for a mansion in the sky.
I may not know the moment, or I may not know the day,
But I know that I'll be leavin', when He calls His church away.

(Verse 1)
I'm listenin' for the trumpet, to sound most any time,
And a crown of life that waiting, thank God will soon be mine.
I got my invitation, thru a place called calvary,
By the precious blood of Jesus, the trips been paid for me.

(Chorus)......

(Verse 2)........up a key.......
The captain of the vessel, He's calling get on aboard,
And the destinations heaven, safe on that crystal shore.
Where we'll meet with the Saviour, and our loved ones who have gone,
We'll live through all eternity, thank God I'm going home.

(Chorus)......then sing.......
I may not know the moment, or I may not know the day,
But I know that I'll be leavin', when He calls His church away.

I really like the last part

I may not know the moment, or I may not know the day,
But I know that I'll be leavin', when He calls His church away.

I believe He could,call His church away at any moment. I know everyone here believes it too which is why I come here so much

Come quickly, Lord!

I so love that good old, straightforward, unadorned, Holy Ghost, shouting, dancing, tent-meeting-style gospel singing!!! Takes me wa-a-a-ay back to my days as a baby Christian and the simple, God-fearing folks with whom we worshiped; when church began at 0930 in the morning and ran till 2 or so in the afternoon on a Sunday and then we all gathered back at 6 for a service that could run way past midnight!!! And not one of us groaned and looked at our watch! We were so on fire for God! And to dwell in His presence and worship and learn of Him was a treat. I never saw a Super Bowl or any other sports event if it was on a Sunday ... and never once did I regret missing one. God was my all in all. O Lord, bring back that fire that fed my love for You!!!

Nobody is nodding off during that service. I enjoyed it. Our brothers and sisters there, blessed my heart! \o/

Priscilla McGruder’s Homegoing Celebration
5 May 2010
I was blessed to be able to catch some of Priscilla McGruder’s Homegoing celebration, and a celebration it was. It wasn’t over the top but it was a great tribute to Priscilla with the focus being on her dedication to God and her readiness to go Home the minute she was called.

Due to the fact that I answer phones for our company and the sound was not real clear when I was able to tune in, I missed a lot of what was said but I think it was Priscilla’s brother who said, “I’ve seen hundreds of people die but I’ve never seen anyone die like that” (speaking of the peaceful way she went). What a testimony! What a walk with God to be so close to Heaven while you’re alive that it’s a graceful entry when you finally arrive at the door.

The songs included in the service were “Special,” “”We Have a Savior,” “Stand on the Word,” and “When We All Get to Heaven.”

Learning what I have of Sister Priscilla the past week or two has given me even more of a glimpse of what I want my end to be but it has to start now. I can’t expect God to say “Well done” up there if He’s not saying “Well done” down here. Priscilla fought the fight, she kept the faith, and she finished her race how she lived her life: praising the Lord. If you desire to meet her, you need to examine your life according to Scripture. When you arrive in Heaven, will you hear “Well done, good and faithful servant. Enter into the joy of the Lord”? Or will you hear “Depart from me. I never knew you”?

“Behold, now is the accepted time ; behold, now is the day of salvation” (2 Corinithians 6:2).
