‘There Is A Place’   (April 8, 2012)

By Allan Thomasson

There is a place beyond this place,

To which we should be bound.
If we’ve believed in Jesus Christ,
In Him we shall be found.                                 II Peter 3:14

But if we’ve not believed in Him,

That means our soul is lost.                               John 3:18b
We’ll wander in our wilderness,
And then, we’ll pay the cost.                             Revelation 20:10-15

God sent His Son for everyone,

That through Him, we’d be saved.                   John 3:16-18a
But that decision we must make
Before we’re in our grave.                                 John 8:24

God’s love, extended to all man,

Is there for all to know;
For Jesus Christ has paid the price,
That free we now may go.

For our past sins would enter in

To judgment some sad day.                               Revelation 20:11-15
Believe in Jesus, for He came
To take our sins away.                                         Hebrews 10:1-5

And then receive the Holy Ghost,

That God’s truth we may know,         John 8:32, 36; John 16:12-13; Acts 2:1-4; Acts 10:43-48
That we might all be one someday,
And fellowship shall flow,

With joyful love from up above,

It is God’s will for all.                                               I Corinthians 1:10; I Corinthians 12:27
And Christ’s commandments clearly spoken
Keeps us from a fall.                                                Deuteronomy 18:18-19; John 14:21-24

For Christ’s commandments He did give,

For perfect harmony,                                              Matthew 22:37-40; John 13:34-35
Until our blessed Lord appears,
Then free from strife we'll be.                               I John 3:1-3

For Christ, our Savior, paid it all,                           Isaiah 53:5-6

So all to Him we owe
A million years of gratitude,
For to heaven we shall go.

He’ll make a place beyond this place,

Eternal in the heaven,                                            Revelation 21:1-7
And when the universe is gone,                           Revelation 20:11; II Peter 3:10-13
There is a place He’s given

By promise in His holy word.

His every word is true.
And by His grace, there is a place
Prepared for me and you.                                    John 14:1
