Deep Persuasion

Deep in my soul I can feel that God’s love is so real.

Troubles may come at some time,

But I know He will be close to me.

His love will never die, He sees me when I cry

And He walks with me and He talks with me

My tears and sorrows all just fly away.

Persuaded by His love. I gave my life to Him.

Though I’m not the best I can claim His power

His purity, His love, He gives to me.

A deep persuasion moves my life to the Lord,

When the Spirit speaks I can feel His power,

And on my knees I hear Him talk to me.

Almost There

C                                              F                  C

My troubles are many and my pleasures are few

F                    C

I guess life is always that way,

F                 Dm7                   C                 Am

but I don’t complain Cause I know I’ll be free

C               G                        C

if I can get to Heaven some day.

Chorus

C                        G                       F                    C

But, tell me – where am I now? Am I almost there?

G                  G7            C

Is that Heaven’s bright glory I see?

G                          F             C

Is that Jesus I hear, calling out my name?

G                        G7            C

Is the door standing open for me?

Sometimes I get weary, I don’t know where I stand.

I stumble and fall on my way.

But Jesus has promised to reach out His hand,

So I know I’ll get to Heaven some day.

My friends don’t believe me when I tell them it’s true

That somewhere there’s a home made for me;

It’s all made of gold, and there’s one made for you.

Come with me to Heaven and see

This World is Not My Home

D

This world is not my home,

G                           D

I’m just a-passing through,

A7

My treasures are laid up, somewhere beyond the blue,

D                                G                      D

The angels beckon me from heaven’s open door,

A7       D

And I can’t feel at home in this world anymore.

Chorus

D                              G                         D

Oh, Lord, you know I have no friend like you;

Em                A7

If heaven’s not my home, then Lord, what will I do?

D                                            G               D

The angels beckon me from heaven’s open door,

Dm  A  D

And I can’t feel at home in this world anymore.

Just up in glory land we’ll live eternally,

The saints on every hand will shout the victory,

With songs of sweetest praise,

Drift out from heaven’s shore,

And I can’t feel a home in this world anymore.
