Jesus promised to be my Friend forever!
He said He’d go with me all the way,
In sunshine or rain,
Laughter or pain,
From break of dawn,
Until the ending of day
Jesus promised He’d be with me in the valley!
The “Lily” and “Rose of Sharon” He will be!
He will hold my trembling hand,
And say, “Child, I understand!”
“Have no fear; you are safe here with Me!
Jesus promised to be with me on the mountain!
Ah, there my soul will soar to awesome heights!
Oh, what joy it is to know,
That wherever I may go,
He will always be my Guiding Light!
Jesus promised me a home up in Heaven!
He’s gone away my mansion to prepare!
Those jasper walls and streets of gold,
My wondering eyes shall behold,
When my joyous soul shall enter there!

Our God measures time and space,
And He holds our world in His hands!
He realizes the problems we face.
Our struggles He understands!

He knows the decisions we must make,
As up life’s hill we climb.
But, He calmly assures us we must take,
Just one step at a time!

We will not live forever here,
Of this I am quite sure!
Things of earth will disappear.
But, the eternal shall endure!

So, we must wisely choose,
While casting earthly desires aside,
For we will never lose,
If in Christ’s love we abide!

Lord, in Your presence,

Is fullness of joy,

And at Your right hand,

Are pleasures forevermore!

You have given me a peace,

The world cannot destroy,

And showered me with blessings,

From Your bountiful store!



Old satan cannot come near.

So, there’s no cause for alarm,

For You cast out doubt and fear,

And he can do me no harm!

As through this life I trod,

On the way to my eternal goal,

I place my faith in God,

The Keeper of my soul!

So, no matter what comes my way,

Be it sickness, sorrow, or strife,

At my journey’s end I shall say,

“Lord, it’s been a good life!”
