''There's a stirring deep within me could it be my time has come? When i'll see my gracious savior face to face when all is done. Is that His voice I am hearing? Come away my precious one. Is he calling me? Is he calling me? I will rise up, rise up and bow down and lay my crown at his wounded feet There's a stirring deep within me
could it be my time has come?'' We sing this song at church quite a bit, but the first time I remember hearing this song was at a friends funeral when I was eight. These lyrics have stuck with me since. At eight the words didn't carry as much meaning as they do now and boy do they ever carry meaning now. So many people are afraid to die, and I wouldn't be real if I told you I have never felt that fear. I heard a sermon not to long ago about how even some Christians won't get to heaven, and with that I am reminded at the fear behind those words. Death is part of life it will happen no matter what and it is up to us to fully study and learn God's word, to FOLLOW it and BE READY! Even in a world where sometimes the other direction seems better or more logical(or whatever the case is). As a Christian it is my job to serve others and teach those who don't know. This is such a big responsibility and I often take it too lightly, I will become better at this. I am not perfect but I can try to be as close as I can be. I fall short far to often. If you could please pray that I will step up as a Christian and do my job. Please pray that I have courage, and that the right words will be given to me. Please pray that I too will be open and willing to listen. Thank you friends.
