• HEAVEN’S SOUNDING SWEETER ALL THE TIME•
Life has been so good I can’t complain
When I’m down God gives me strength to rise again
But I’m weary from the struggle of it all
I just listen, how I listen to His call
Heaven’s sounding sweeter all the time
Seems like lately it’s always on my mind
Someday I’m gonna leave this world behind
Heaven’s sounding sweeter all the time
It’s hard to lose a loved one to the grave
But we have the blessed hope that Jesus gave
God’s gonna wipe the tears from our eyes
When we meet in that land beyond the skies

“Yet the LORD will command his lovingkindness in the daytime,
And in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life.”
Psalm 42:8
There’s a land that is fairer than day,
And by faith we can see it afar;
For the Father waits over the way
To prepare us a dwelling place there.
In the sweet by and by,
We shall meet on that beautiful shore;
In the sweet by and by,
We shall meet on that beautiful shore.
We shall sing on that beautiful shore
The melodious songs of the blessed;
And our spirits shall sorrow no more,
Not a sigh for the blessing of rest.
To our bountiful Father above,
We will offer our tribute of praise
For the glorious gift of His love
And the blessings that hallow our days.

“I thought, “O God, one of these hours there’s coming a scream from heaven; the trumpet of God shall sound, and every Christian shall fly on to the wings of the old rugged cross, piercing the storms of life out into the cleft in the Rock, Christ Jesus.” Oh, my. God in His nature, watch Him in His universe. Just in a moment, how He can take us, no matter how hard the trial is, just hold on to His wings, and He’ll bear you away.” WMB
Remembering mine affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the gall.
My soul hath them still in remembrance, and is humbled in me.
This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope.
It is of the LORD’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.
They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.
The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.
Lamentations 3:19-25
“God wants you. He loves you. And God so loved you, that when His love was projected, sovereign grace taken its place and sent a Saviour to redeem you back to Himself.” WMB
