Gabriel has a trumpet
Which he's about to blow
God say's to him get ready
I'm calling my children home
Now no man knows the day
Nor the hour when this will be
But brother just look around you
And you will surely see
Perilous times are here
We live in such distress
I don't know how we've gone this far
Were in an awful mess
I look to Heaven's clouds each day
Our redemption draweth nigh
Surely he will soon appear
In the eastern sky
It could be today
And that would just be fine
But you can count on one thing
And that is: It's About Time

Nature holds such beauty
For our eyes to see
I love walking in the forest
Seems God's spirit is with me
Such splendor all around
A tapestry so great
No one but God
Could such a thing portrait
The birds the blooms
The sky above
Pour out our Saviors love
Only he could make such wonders
And send them from above
Yes I love all nature
And the wonders that it shows
And how and where it all began
Only God in Heaven knows

Joy comes in the morning
After a long night
Things seem so much better
When we see the light
We worry we fret
Our stress is so high
While all along
Our Savior is nigh
He knows our thoughts
before we ask
And your situation
To Him is no task
He has the answer
Just wait and see
And if you wait in Faith
He'll bring Victory
So my dear friend
Just heed my warning
God's in control and
Joy comes in the morning

I have a fond memory
Of a house back a lane
Oh how I wish
I could visit again

The three who were there
Were so special to me
And each time I'd visit
My heart filled with glee

The setting was country
But oh it was grand
And I loved setting on the swing
Surveying the land

Love filled each room
God's spirit was there
And besides hospitality
You were shown such love and such care

Their were three at one time
Then two and then one
And finally all of them
Made their journey home

I miss them so
But I know that someday
In Heaven I'll see them
Together again

One day I'll take the journey
That I so long to take
I will cross all barriers
And in Heaven I'll awake

Crossing over Jordan
May cause a little fear
But I know I'll see the Savior
And all my loved ones dear

The fear of death
Shall pass away
And time shall be no more
All will be so Glorious
When I reach that shore

So friend do not weep
When that crossing comes for me
I'll just say goodbye and fall asleep
And begin the journey

Dear Lord its morning
And I come to you
Asking for your grace
To help me get through

I need your touch
More than before
Let me know you each day
So very much more

Give me your strength
And endurance to stand
I'm reaching out
For your unfailing hand

Please bless all my family
And my friends today
Send them a blessing
And touch them I pray

Now father
As I end this morning prayer
Please keep us all
In your tender care
AMEN

Far back as I remember
Mother's days were full
Always doing something
That's what she liked to do
In the winter day's you'd find her
With a shovel in her hand
Out there moving snow
Boy her energy was grand
Then I can remember
Watching her hang up clothes
Out on the summer clothes line
And I'd watch the sheets just blow
They were fresh as spring time
As the sun would warm then dry
And Oh it was so nice
To sleep on them that night
Other days I'd see her
Mowing our country yard
She would have things really neat
She often worked real hard
Yes my mind goes back
To those good old days
And they are like no other
For among my most precious memories
They're of my precious Mother
