I’m to Near Home (to turn back now)

I’ve been traveling here in this Life, with it’s heartaches, struggles and strife.  Sometimes satan tries to tell me

To turn aside, I say satan get thee behind

No returning in me you’ll find, I’m to near my Heavenly home Where I’ll abide

Chorus

I’m too near home of my Lord, too near Heaven’s reward

I am not returning to sin I’ve made my vow

There is nothing in to go back to

Praise the Lord, Sweet Heaven’s in View

I’m to near my Heavenly Home to turn back now

There is Joy in going this way.  It gets sweeter each day

My dear Lord is leading the way to realms above

He’ll be with me until the end

Be my Savior, guide and friend.  I’ll arrive in Heaven

The home of perfect love

Just one glimpse inside the home gate, see my friends

And loved ones who wait, will be worth whatever the cost to make it thru, I will not give up in this race.

I’ll continue by the Lords grace, I’m to near that wonderful home beyond the blue!

He is mine and I am his

God’s Amazing Grace sent down from Heaven,

Rescued me from death and from shame

Opened up my eyes and brought Salvation

Now I’m his Praise his Holy Name

Chorus

Now I know that he is mine and I am his forever

He is leading me along Life’s Way

He’ll be holding to my hand When I cross deaths river

He will take the sting of death away

Tis so sweet to know I have Jesus with me

He will keep me from sin and strife

He delivered me from condemnation

Now I have Eternal Life

So He’ll always be my Savior forever

Thru many hardships and trials, he has brought

And I’m looking for the day, where we’ll all be together

Where in Heaven with Christ our Lord, None will be Lost

Old Mountain Gospel Songs

Jesus Passed By

There is a story of Long ago

Men roamed in darkness, no where to go

One day the scene changed

They ceased to cry

There was a reason Jesus passed by

Chorus

Glory and honor be to the King

Shout Hal-le-lu-jah make praises ring

Look to the future home in the sky

There is a reason Jesus passed by

Men found compassion hungry were fed

Some saw their loved ones brought from the dead

They found great comfort came from on high

There was a reason Jesus passed by

One day a sinner I found relief

Gone was my burden Gone was my grief

Angels were singing and so was I

There was a reason Jesus passed by
