Out of this World

 

Jesus gave the words of life that the Father gave to Him

So we might know He was God's Son and save us from our sin

One day we'll be with Jesus- standing by His throne

That's why I say that by and by I'll see my eternal home!

 

But I'm not out of this world today,

 

No I'm not out of this world today

But I'm protected from the evil way

He paid the price that was mine to pay

And I'll be out of this world one day!

 

For some reason we're elected to become one of God's sheep

To minister we are selected- to awaken those who sleep

For it's in a life of service that we manifest His love

To be at peace in troubled times 'til He takes us up above

 

And we'll be out of this world that day

With all the saints who have followed the way

There'll be no reason left to stay

And we'll be out of this world that day!
