When One of God's Goes Home

Sickness is a part of life,
This fallen world we live in,
But Heaven's on the other side
Where everything is well,
So much more than well.

It's where we praise Jesus
It's where we fall at His feet.
It's where we'll always praise Jesus,
The greatest place to be.

One day I'll see Him face to face,
The one who died for me.
Oh how I long for that embrace,
The way it's supposed to be,
And for eternity.

It's where we praise Jesus
It's where we fall at His feet.
It's where we'll always praise Jesus,
The greatest place to be.

When one of God's goes home,
It's a time to rejoice.
When He calls His children home,
What a time of joy,
A time of endless joy.

It's where we praise Jesus
It's where we fall at His feet.
It's where we'll always praise Jesus,
The greatest place to be,
And for eternity,
Praise eternally.

Reflection on Philippians 1

Yes, we are servants, slaves to the Christ.
He calls us saints, "Holy" is our cry.
Grace be to you, peace be to you.
Please pray for me, and I'll pray for you.
Together for this gospel of truth,
Let's stay united in all we do.
In everything, let us rejoice;
He has a plan, and it's for His glory.
Let us live our lives for Christ,
Make them count, do what's right.
Things might be hard, but don't lose hope
It's in His hands, yes, this we know.

Praise Him in That

When all seems to be right,
And I just want to smile,
I will praise Him in that.
I will praise Him in that.
When I've had a bad day,
And it brings me to the Psalms,
I will praise Him in that.
I will praise Him in that.
When it's all so confusing
And I search the Holy Word,
I will praise Him in that.
I will praise Him in that.

In all things, however they seem,
Give praise to the Lord.
Yes, praise His Holy Name.

When the pictures jump out
In the that old precious Book,
I will praise Him in that.
I will praise Him in that.
As He shows me His love
Eternal and true,
I will praise Him in that.
I will praise Him in that.
When I just can't make sense
And I see how big He is,
I will praise Him in that.
I will praise Him in that.

In all things, however they seem,
Give praise to the Lord.
Yes, praise His Holy Name.

As I care for my home,
Cook and clean and again,
I will praise Him in that.
I will praise Him in that.
As I hold a dear child,
Run my hands through their hair,
I will praise Him in that.
I will praise Him in that.
As I ponder the blessings,
What He gave and He took,
I will praise Him in that.
I will praise Him in that.

In all things, however they seem,
Give praise to the Lord.
Yes, praise His Holy Name.
Praise Him in that, yes everything.

~This started coming to me this morning as I was doing the dishes, praising him in that. I had to stop and write this. May He open your eyes to everything being for His glory. That is worthy of praise!
