Blessed Assurance





Blessed assurance!
God’s faithfulness is great!
Think of His Kingdom!
Hurry! Time’s late!

Redeemed is the proclamation!
His joy is mine!
Ready your white garments, and
Leave sin’s suitcase behind!

Calvary lifted burdens!
Holy hands bore cruel nails!
Victory in Jesus -
My eyes have no more scales!

Yon pilgrim, there a stranger
They have traveled so long
To reach the Home of the Faithful
To acquire white robe and gold crown!

Jesus Christ is leading
The Holy Spirit's pleading
God made He the Way, so
Stand up for Jesus - He slept in your cold grave!

And because of His great victory
You’re no longer a slave
So pick you up your sword now
And in glorious battle engage!

No retreat! No quarter!
No rabble on the Line!
No fainting! Hey! No falling!
We are covered! Don’t look behind!

With eyes ever fixed forward
Christ’s heart on open display
Christ’s blood is our armor-all
We will not cease nor give way
To that enemy of our own souls
To that foul fiend of the night
Whose stratagems are ignominious
Ignoble, and a right fright!

Sound you off the song number
Call the time and the tune
Mark you step, and step deftly
Board Fair Zion’s galloon!

We will not be becalm-ed
We will not be o’erblown
We will not be torpedoed
Jesus Christ is manning the ‘phones!

So stiffen your spine with your praying
Steady your heart with the Promises
No more time to be wasted -
You’re no more earth-bounded
For you have a date with Destiny
With the King of Love, oh, so Divine
The Table is set - Banquet Hall is bedecked
With such great displays it’ll take Eternity to inspect!

Remember you your manners!
Follow you your guide!
The King! At last! He is coming!
So let your joyous praise rise!

A joyful hallelujah!
A resoundingly great anthem!
Thank you, God, for this - the victory!
No sin again! Hallelujah!
Never see sin again! AMEN!

God's Building a Church



God’s building a church - I’m helping!
God’s creating a ready people - I’m one!
Jesus is coming soon - I’m waiting!
Bless the Lord, it won’t be very long!

The elements will melt - good gracious!
No more sun - not even the moon!
Soon we’ll gather by that River
We'll walk there - just like the Angels - real soon!

Old things pass away - there is newness!
Newness of life - every day!
Bless God, bless God - I’m a pilgrim!
Walking toward New Jerusalem day by day!

I’m trusting King Jesus - my companion
To cover me as I go through the fray
For this journey is not for the swiftest
Nor is it for the ever so strong!

This journey is for he who needs a Savior
And for him who endures however long
Bless God - He made for us provision!
Bless God - He made for us a great song!

We’re marching to Zion - that Great city
Hail Friend! Join us! Please won’t you come along?!
The Savior is waiting your heart to enter
Please let Him in! He wants you to belong!

There is nothing on this earth that could ever separate you
From His love - the Shepherd of Rest!
Confess your sin, reach for His Hand - He offers
And you shall henceforth be forever blessed!

Dear One, give a ready answer!
He’s knocking!
Dear One, give a ready answer!
He's pleading for you!
Dear One, please answer!
He covers! He blesses!
Let Him in!
Jesus really wants to bless and protect you!
