HE IS CALLING
He calleth me, Jesus is calling, "Come home, it is time to come home." A voice in the middle of the night of life is calling
me home.
Time for play is over, it is time I went home to be with my Lord and Savior, Jesus the Christ, its time to go home.
As much as it is time to go I hate to leave because I am so comfortable in my old home.
I can see His outstretched hand beckoning me to come home, how can I not go, for His voice is so gentle and His love so
true.
Though I do not want to leave family and friends behind, yet I know that it is time to go. He keeps calling, calling me
home, I must leave this old life behind and begin life anew.
He (Jesus) has promised me that He will care for my family, so not to go is not on my mind.
Though there are many places I would like to go and things that I would like to do, He is telling me, "It is time to go."
Gentle and kind is He, how cannot I do what He is calling me to do?
It is time to say goodbye to friends and family, time to leave this world behind and join my Lord and friend, Jesus Christ,
the one who loves me and knows me so well.
There, look over there, there's my friend Jesus holding His hand out to me, with a smile on His face; He nods for me to
come home.
Yes, Jesus is calling, calling me home, it is time for me to close my eyes and go home.
