How do I retire with ease and respect?
I still have my loved ones to protect.
Will I have enough money to continue my lifestyle?
If I find part-time employment, will it be worthwhile?
Not moving too fast has always been the answer.
After many years I am now a much slower dancer

Hearing the chimes of time in my heart
From my Almighty God, I will never depart
The closer I get, the clearer the sound
Oh Lord, I know I'm Heavenly bound
The Majestic music welling up in my soul
Givings an incredible feeling of Divine control
As my time grows shorter here on earth
excitement swells for my Heavenly birth
Approaching that far off distant shore
Feeling His warm Love more and more
The closer I get, the clearer I see
There's my family waiting for me
The songs of praise can’t be explained
Hearing the sounds of a crystal refrain
Thank God, Thank God I've won the race
Only being redeemed through Jesus' Grace
Home, at last, Home, at last, unable to explain the glorious feeling within
Bowing my head, thanking God for His Son, Jesus, who bore my sin.

Jesus, Just the mention of His name
Will remove all my worldly shame
Jesus, Just the mention of His name
brings more love than I can acclaim
Jesus, Just the mention of His name
will miraculously remove all my sin
Jesus, Just the mention of His name
Will bring unexplained peace within
Jesus, Just the mention of His name
Conquered my death when He came
Jesus, Just the mention of His name
Living forever, continually praising Him

Listen trust and obey for there's no other way.
If in His loving arms, I want to stay
Listening is the most important of the three
Without intensive listing, I will never see
Trusting comes from faith in Almighty God
Without faith, there is no light on the path I trod
Obeying comes from the love I see
With Jesus, the Son of God, living in me

Jesus came to visit. Was I embarrassed by what he did see?
Did my surroundings make him proud of me?
Would I have changed anything before He came by?
After entering, did he look around and say why?
He said He would be back, and I am greatly concerned.
Will I have time to clean up my act before He returns?
I only have one choice but to start now.
I am urgently asking God to help somehow.
After listening to what God had to say
I invited Jesus in without delay

Suffering has different meanings, I must say
Suffering for good or bad depending on the day
I may suffer in training to win a race I've won
I may suffer for making mistakes I shouldn't have done
How I choose to suffer is in my hands
Deciding on the most appropriate plans.
Always looking for love and light
Discarding the evil of the night
Suffering is lessened along the way,
by loving The Lord more each day.

With Jesus in me, how will people know?
Will He Shine through wherever I go?
Will they see a drastic change in me?
Jesus coming in and setting me free.
I pray they see His light shining in me.

There are new days ahead. I see
Good days or bad, it's left to me
I can choose the broad road to hell
The narrow path in heaven to dwell
It's left up to me
Which eternity I see
Bowing my head, asking Jesus in
Is the secret to the Glorious win
He walks with me and talks with me
At the end of the race, Heaven, I will see

Life from the womb to the tomb and every second in-between
My actions and reactions determine what I see
Do I exhibit hate and discord
Seemingly am always being ignored
Do I present a happy face with peace within
Having many friends, I am happy with where I've been
The choice is only mine to make
Praying I do not make a mistake
Joy, love, peace, and happiness only come from God above
The key to such a blissful life is knowing Jesus through his love

The Universe is not ours to understand
Being a small part of God's Great Plan
No way to conceive of His Vast Domain
Only Thanking Him for Jesus to forever Reighn
