<br>
<br>If we could get just one glimpse
<br>Of what our future holds,
<br>We would surely be more careful
<br>Of how our life unfolds!
<br>
<br>Just to get a glimpse
<br>Of Hell's consuming flame,
<br>Would surely cause us
<br>To never be the same!
<br>
<br>A glimpse should be enough
<br>To show us what's ahead,
<br>Unless we call on Jesus
<br>Before the time we're dead!
<br>
<br>A glimpse into Heaven
<br>Gives us a hope for sure.
<br>If we can just get there
<br>Our heart must be so pure!
<br>
<br>But Jesus, our Lord and Savior
<br>Knocks on our heart's door.
<br>Then when we ask Him in
<br>He will leave us nevermore!
<br>
<br>Then we shall one day see the whole,
<br>Not just a glimpse of Heaven fair!
<br>Let's go walk those streets of gold,
<br>Then a glimpse can not compare!

<br>I CAN and I WILL
<br>
<br>
<br>Life has it's hills and it's valleys,
<br>It's a long and twisting road,
<br>There are battles to be conquered.
<br>Where seeds of doubt have been sowed.
<br>
<br>When we see a high hill before us,
<br>We may think it's way too high,
<br>And we wonder if we can make it,
<br>And should we even try
<br>
<br>And then I hear God's still, small voice,
<br>It comes from deep within,
<br>"You can do this, my child,
<br>And this time you will win!"
<br>
<br>My heart leaped with assurance,
<br>I CAN and I WILL!
<br>NOTHING CAN STOP ME,
<br>FROM CLIMBING THIS HILL!
<br>
<br>It may be the highest hill,
<br>That I will ever climb,
<br>But by God's sweet grace.
<br>I will do it this time!
<br>
<br>And with His love and mercy,
<br>Which covers us all,
<br>I will have the strength and courage,
<br>That keeps us from a nasty fall.
<br>
<br>His wisdom and His consuming love,
<br>Leads to sweet victory at last,
<br>And we will worship at His feet,
<br>As our faith becomes steadfast.

<br>
<br>From the Cradle to the Cross
<br>
<br>
<br>He had ten tiny fingers
<br>and such cute little toes;
<br>pink, rosy cheeks,
<br>and a sweet little nose.
<br>
<br>An innocent babe,
<br>such a delight to behold,
<br>yet the coming of this child
<br>had long been foretold.
<br>
<br>For He was the Messiah,
<br>the Redeemer of man,
<br>conceived through the Spirit;
<br>part of God's plan.
<br>
<br>Years passed and He grew,
<br>then in love He reached out.
<br>The miracles He worked
<br>should have left little doubt
<br>
<br>That this was God's Son,
<br>no ordinary man He,
<br>sent forth to deliver,
<br>to pardon, set free.
<br>
<br>He spoke of new life;
<br>and showed others the way
<br>to be granted forgiveness;
<br>receive salvation that day.牋\r<br>
<br>But many were deaf
<br>to the truth of God's Word.
<br>They had ears to listen
<br>yet their hearts never heard.
<br>
<br>His ministry on earth
<br>brought Him not man's esteem,
<br>for many would reject
<br>that their souls He'd redeem.
<br>
<br>Still He gave up His life;
<br>bore man's guilt; suffered shame.
<br>Obeying His Father,
<br>The Sacrificial Lamb He became.
<br>
<br>His life's blood poured out
<br>for the remission of sin;
<br>yet He conquered even death
<br>when He arose once again.
<br>
<br>Now salvation is promised
<br>to all who'll believe;
<br>eternal life offered
<br>if the Son they'll receive.
<br>
<br>The gift of God's Son
<br>sent from Heaven above;
<br>from the cradle to the cross:
<br>the story of God's love.
