Just a few more days to be filled with praise,
And to tell the old, old story;
Then, when twilight falls, and my Savior calls,
I shall go to Him in glory.
And to tell the old, old story;
Then, when twilight falls, and my Savior calls,
I shall go to Him in glory.
Refrain
I’ll exchange my cross for a starry crown,
Where the gates swing outward never;
At His feet I’ll lay every burden down,
And with Jesus reign forever.
Where the gates swing outward never;
At His feet I’ll lay every burden down,
And with Jesus reign forever.
Just a few more years with their toil and tears,
And the journey will be ended;
Then I’ll be with Him, where the tide of time
With eternity is blended.
And the journey will be ended;
Then I’ll be with Him, where the tide of time
With eternity is blended.
Refrain
Though the hills be steep and the valleys deep,
With no flowers my way adorning;
Though the night be lone and my rest a stone,
Joy awaits me in the morning.
With no flowers my way adorning;
Though the night be lone and my rest a stone,
Joy awaits me in the morning.
Refrain
What a joy ’twill be when I wake to see
Him for Whom my heart is burning!
Nevermore to sigh, nevermore to die,
For that day my heart is yearning.
Him for Whom my heart is burning!
Nevermore to sigh, nevermore to die,
For that day my heart is yearning.
Refrain
What really spoke to me in this song was the first line in the refrain/chorus. "I'll exchange my cross for a starry crown..." You can only get a crown in heaven if you were willing to pick up the cross and follow Christ here on earth. To many think they're "good" because they prayed a prayer...got saved...yes, the might be on their way to heaven but then? Will you hear the words, "Welcome home my child, well done"?
