Two Songs

These two songs were heard on the internet and were, I believe, a blessing to all who heard them.

The first was sung by an old man who had recently started coming to a Church and had met Jesus. His song in his native tongue in South America was transcribed and translated as he sang in his local church one day, and it became well known in that continent. It sounds beautiful in the original language, but the song in English although strange brings out the truths of God as sung in the original.

It is sweeter than honey
That pulls me out of this cave
And it takes me to heaven.
I’ve seen fire and earthquakes
Strong wind that blew on me
I have lived so many dangers.
But your voice then calmed me
You give orders to the stars
And the sea you put your limits
I feel so secure
In your hands Oh! Almighty
There are no bolts or gates
That do not close before your voice
No more pain or guilt
Remains standing before us
And the storm subsides
In the voice of Him who created all.
For Your Word is pure
A shield to those who believe in You!

There wasn’t a dry eye in the Church building when I heard the original recording in the native language.

Then there was the recording of Walt Mills beautiful “Country” style Gospel song that he sang in duo with Rev. Jimmy Swaggart on 28th August 2013. Now I know that Rev. Mills and Rev. Swaggart are Pentecostalist and Armenians [and I am not], but I was inspired to praise God for the way in which He can lead us to glorify Him with such a simple and encouraging song. I listened to the recording and haven’t been able to get it out of my mind and heart since then!

I'm On My Way to Heaven Lyrics

Well, I'm on my way to heaven and my journey gets sweeter every day. Walking with Jesus; Talking with Jesus all along the way. My soul gets so happy, I shout and I sing night and day. Well, I'm on my way to heaven, and my journey gets sweeter every day.

I've had ups and downs, sorrows and frowns may pass my way, but I've paid no attention, dropped the contention, had no time to stray. Problems only seem to weigh me down, turn my sunny skies to grey, But I'm on my way to heaven, and the journey gets sweeter every day.

God was good enough to save me, washed my old sins away. Now he leads me and guides me, protects me and hides me, keeps me every day. I know that He loves me, for He entered my heart to stay. Well, I'm on my way to heaven, my journey gets sweeter every day.
