I am Bound For That City...

I am thankful for days like today that I am reminded of just how privileged I am to be a part of the West Hobbs Street family!   God blessed me with wonderful and special people in my life that have influenced me, helped me, loved me with all their hearts...and taught me that Heaven will surely be worth it ALL...and to stay focused on "the GOAL" no matter what circumstances I encounter here on this earth!  I am so thankful for everyone in my life...but especially for two precious souls that NEVER waiver and have always been constant in my life! 
 I am thankful for the peace and comfort I have knowing that no matter what this earthly life throws in my path...when this earthly life is over I will see them again in Heaven and...yes, IT WILL SURELY BE WORTH IT ALL!
When I think about Heaven and what it will be like....is hard to fathom it's beauty and just how magnificent it will be!   I want to be there when this earthly life has ended and I want to see my loved ones there with me!  God's love for me...in sending His Son to die for my sins...motivates me to strive to reach my goal of Heaven...but knowing that those I hold so close to my heart here on this earth will be there....makes it even sweeter to me!
"Knowing we can spend a life time reminiscing on the past, knowing I will see your face again where tender moments last.  It makes me want to go there knowing I wont be alone.  Knowing you'll be there makes it easy to go home."
 I have started my journey and
I am bound for that CITY....are you?

There's a city of light
Where there comes no night
For the sun never sets in the sky
In the Bible we're told
That the streets are pure gold
And a cool gentle river runs by

I'm bound for that city
God's holy white city
Oh yes I am I'll never turn back
To this world anymore anymore
No matter how rough may be the way
No matter how oft I stop to pray
I'm bound for that city
On that ever green shore

Little children will play
And our hearts will be gay
As we stroll through that city of gold
No more dying up there
No more sorrow to bear
And nobody will be feeble and old

I'm bound for that city
God's holy white city
Oh yes I am I'll never turn back
To this world anymore anymore
No matter how rough may be the way
No matter how oft I stop to pray
I'm bound for that city
On that ever green shore

No matter how rough may be the way
No matter how oft I stop to pray
I'm bound for that city
On that ever green ever green shore
I'm bound for that city
On that ever green ever green shore
