As We Journey Onward

Sometimes the old Cross for Jesus is very heavy to bear,
But I find it fits’ just perfect, for all who really care,
About His sacrifice and abounding, Holy love,
Somewhere up yonder, up beyond the sky above.

Journey onward soldiers of the cross, He will do well with thee,
He gave His beloved life for the likes of you and me,
Go that extra mile, into another country give,
To someone who knows not our Lord and how, He doth forgive.

I know the times gets hard and you grow weary there,
But, just turn it over to Jesus, kneel down to Him in Prayer,
He’s our living Savior, He’s our all in all in this old life,
He said He would walk with us, even through all the strife.

I saw a dear lady go home, she was put to rest today,
Just as some of my dear ones have journeyed on that way,
I’ll see them again tomorrow, there in Heavens’ Realm,
Praising our loving Savior, singing their favorite Hymn.,br>
Like, I want to stroll over Heaven with you, was the one they chose,
And all the strolling that they do there, Jesus with them goes,
So let us not think of the comforts of today, but journey on,
Hence one day we, with all our loved ones, with Jesus we’ll be home.
