Safely Home

I am home in Heaven, dear ones; Oh, so happy and so bright! There is perfect joy and beauty In this everlasting light. All the pain and grief is over, Every restless tossing passed; I am now at peace forever, Safely home in Heaven at last. Did you wonder I so calmly Trod the valley of the shade? Oh! but Jesus’ arm to lean on, Could I have one doubt or dread? Then you must not grieve so sorely, For I love you dearly still; Try to look beyond earth’s shadows, Pray to trust our Father’s Will.

A Man Named Jesus

A Man Named Jesus One day I met a man named Jesus And he told me He’s God’s only son He said he is the way, truth and life And he died on the cross for everyone. He said he has the keys to hell And has victory over the grave He said all power is in his hands And if I believed I could be saved. I wondered why he ever cared about me Since I had done so many awful sins But he told me he would wash them all away And still be my very best friend....
