If You Leave This World

IF YOU LEAVE THIS WORLD

If you leave this world before I do,
Don't leave me things I cannot use.
Leave me memories of loving you.

Leave me hope we'll meet again
Leave me peace that comes from heav'n
Don't leave me things I cannot use,
Leave me memories of loving you.

Leave me dreams, pure and sweet,
Of your mansion in glory
Where you sit at Jesus' feet.
Don't leave me things I cannot use,
Leave me memories of loving you.

Leave me behind ere you go
'Til we meet again at heav'n's door;
Don't look back but onward go
Into Jesus' arms in heav'n's glow.

If you leave this world before I do,
Don't leave me things I cannot use.
Leave me memories of loving you.

In The Unity of The Spirit


The Word of God Is
Rich and Sweet.
The Word of God Is
Bread and Meat.
The Word of God Is
Faithful and True.
The Word of God Is 
For me and you.

We have come, Lord,
To see Your face.
Meet us now, Lord,
In this place.
Make us one, Lord,
In Your Name.
We are wholly 
Holy Thine.

(ca. 2013. Going through my journals, I find little poems and short songs, this is one of those.)

Rich: Acts 12:24 (increased and multiplied)
Sweet: Psalm 19:10 (sweeter than honey)
Bread: John 6:35 (Jesus is Bread)
Meat: John 4:34 (doing, obeying God's will)
Faithful and True: Revelation 22:6 (the fact of the Bible, Scriptures)
For me and for you: John 3:16 (the Word died for us on the cross)
                                 Romans 10:12, 13 (the Word is for Everyone)
