<TITLE>16. Par 654-662</TITLE>L-654   All that's got that hope, raise your hand up now as you raise your head.
I won't have...
Now just worship Him. The message is over. Aren't you happy? God swore He wouldn't... God swore He would meet you there.
Jesus died all my sins to atone;
When the darkness I...
What do you say? The stinger is gone.
He will be waiting for me,
I won't have to cross Jordan alone.
Times I'm forsaken, and weary...
Just worship Him now.
Seems that my friends have all gone;
Did you ever hit that place?
But there's one thought that cheers me.
What was the promise?
Makes my heart glad,
I won't have to cross Jordan...

L-655 Now, children of the promise, just worship Him for doing it.
I won't have to cross Jordan alone,
Jesus died all my sins to atone;
What happens now?
When the darkness I see, He will be waiting for me,
I won't have to cross Jordan alone.
"When I come to the river." Every one of you is coming. There's a big, dark shadow setting there before you. It's a big door. You're going in there, one of these days, maybe before the day is over, maybe before church closes this morning. You're going in there. Every time that heart beats, you're one step closer.
But when the darkness I see, He will be waiting there,
He said He would. He swore He would.
Then I won't have to cross Jordan alone.

L-656   O Blessed Lord, our hearts are full, this morning, to the running over.

L-657 To think of when the pulse is ceasing, and the nurse presses the pillow around your head. And your hands, you can't move no more. Your hands has turned to ice. Your children, your mother, your loved ones are screaming and crying. That big door swings open, yonder. He'll be waiting.

L-658 David said, "If I make my bed in hell, He will be there." I won't have to cross it alone. When the sprays of the river begin to flash into our face, God will take the lifeboat, guide us right across it. He promised He would. David the prophet said, "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I'll fear no evil. Thou art with me. Thy rod and Thy staff, they comfort me."

L-659   Lord, we are so happy today, that we was included the heir of the promise. Today we have within us Eternal Life, because we love the Lord Jesus and have believed Him, and accepted His Word and His teaching. And He give to us, as a seal of our faith, the Holy Spirit, the seal of the Holy Spirit. Our faith within us is anchored. And though many times we're walking through dark shadows, many times we're stumbling along the road, but our anchor still holds. There is something in it, way yonder, that seems to be guiding on, saying, "Move on. We're going on."

L-660 God, bless us. We need You. Keep us ever faithful and true until the time You come for us, we'll praise Thee through the ceaseless ages. And that day when we stand on the earth... His blessed feet has never touched the earth yet. There He stands there, in the air; and the saints and redeemed from all ages, through every watch, first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh, all stand there robed in His righteousness; we crown Him the King of king and the Lord of lords, and sing those redemption stories. Our poor hearts will quiver as we look upon Him who loved us and gave Himself for us. While we were unlovable and sinners, Christ died that we might be saved. We thank Thee for it, Father, in Christ's Name. Amen.

L-661   You love Him? Oh, how real He is. Don't you just feel like you'd just like to just somehow put your arms around Him? Wouldn't you just love to crawl up and touch His feet, you know?

L-662 You know, there used to be some people come to my services at Phoenix, Arizona, say, "I'd like to talk it over with Him. I'd like to say, 'Lord, You loved me when my path got so dim.'" I'd just love to talk it over with Him before we cross over. I--I want to see Him. I--I--I just want to see Him. To think how I'll feel, how my poor heart will quiver when I see Him standing there.
