FOREVER WITH THE LORD

Don Fortner

(Tune: This Is My Father’s World #39 SMD)

This world is not my home,

I’m only passing through.

A stranger here, I must go on,

My home is now in view!

Refrain: “Forever with the Lord!”

Amen! So let it be!

With Christ I’ll live for evermore

In immortality!

There is no resting place

In all the earth for me;

But Christ in heav’n prepares a place

Of rest, sweet rest, for me!

My journey soon shall end,

My Lord will come for me.

He’ll take me home to be with Him

For all eternity!

My soul, be of good cheer!

With such good hope as this,

What sorrows here can be compared

To heaven’s endless bliss?
