Lyrics:
FACE TO FACE WITH CHRIST MY SAVIOR, by Carrie Ellis Breck
1 Face to face with Christ, my Savior,
Face to face- what will it be
When with rapture I behold him,
Jesus Christ who died for me?
Refrain:
Face to face I shall behold him,
Far beyond the starry sky;
Face to face in all his glory,
I shall see him by and by.
2 Only faintly now I see him
With the darkened veil between,
But a blessed day is coming
When his glory shall be seen. [Refrain]
3 What rejoicing in his presence,
When are banished grief and pain;
When the crooked ways are straightened
And the dark things shall be plain. [Refrain]
4 Face to face- oh, blissful moment!
Face to face- to see and know;
Face to face with my Redeemer,
Jesus Christ who loves me so. [Refrain]
NOW I BELONG TO JESUS, by Norman J. Clayton
Jesus My Lord Will Love Me Forever,
From Him No Power Of Evil Can Sever,
He Gave His Life To Ransom My Soul,
Now I Belong To Him;
Now I Belong To Jesus
Jesus Belongs To Me,
Not For The Years Of Time Alone,
But For Eternity.
Once I Was Lost In Sin’s Degradation,
Jesus Came Down To Bring Me Salvation,
Lifted Me Up From Sorrow And Shame,
Now I Belong To Him;
Now I Belong To Jesus
Jesus Belongs To Me,
Not For The Years Of Time Alone,
But For Eternity.
Joy Floods My Soul
For Jesus Has Saved Me,
Freed Me From Sin
That Long Had Enslaved Me,
His Precious Blood
He Gave To Redeem,
Now I Belong To Him;
Now I Belong To Jesus
Jesus Belongs To Me,
Not For The Years Of Time Alone,
But For Eternity.
Beautiful. Thank you.
Wow, Grace, you are praising our Lord in such a heart-felt way. I sang these songs since a was a little boy at Galilee Baptist in Denver. Your music brings back memories when this little 8 1/2-year-old boy listened to Bakht Singh from India preached on Palm Sunday evening, and I gave my heart to Jesus.
Keep on praising Jesus.
By the way, we reduced the price in our home by $25,000 and in two days we had an offer. We had the inspection yesterday and are being tested for radon until Monday afternoon. On Wednesday it becomes officially “Pending” status. Kathy and I will be flying down next week on Monday (May 15-20) and will purchase a home. The new owners will close on our house on July 6 in the morning, then we take off to Knoxville, TN. We’ll drive until we reach Indiana for the night. On July 7th, we’ll drive to Knoxville and then close on our house in the late afternoon. On July 8th, we’ll move into our new home. On July 9th, we’ll worship in our new city! We are ready for the mad rush over the next two months, but it will be worth it all.
