Swallowing all of my despairs
Once a gain I fake it and put on airs
When you gonna ride in and save my day
When my feet lose grip and give way
That will be the day pain will dissolve
Sun become blackened, the earth no longer will revolve
No one will get in our way as we gallop upon the clouds
To a land where the redeemed will be allowed.
Fare thee well all! Today I’ll finally fly
King Jesus came and split that eastern sky
In that great gettin up morning
A final goodbye to all the mourning
When I get to heaven, gonna run the street
Peering into every face that I meet
There’s a few I really wanna see
A beautiful few gonna bounce on my knee
No man will get in my way
On that great beautiful day
Ever had a song in your heart? Sing it all the time. You love the song, the words and the catchy tune. But for some reason, unbeknownst to you, you didn’t have a clue what it really meant. Then one day it just clicks. That’s what happened today.
The song is Ride On King Jesus. I had even googled it awhile back. It’s an old song the African American slaves sang during their time of hopelessness. Their minds had to stay on the day King Jesus came riding on in to save them. And no man would get in their way when he did come back for them.
They say “In that great gettin up morning, fare thee well” some of our days may feel like this. I’d rather it be today jesus comes back, than live with this pain. We’ve all felt that way. But imagine the joy it must’ve put in the hearts of the slaves; this was where their hope lived…
A New Life 
The hope we have in Jesus truly is the only way through, great encouragement! ♥

Whenever we can leave a physical prison or torture, and go to a spiritual / mental place, God will surround our hearts and minds with His peace.

We were, then we moved to TN for 2 years, and then we moved back to SC 3 months ago. 🙂 We actually moved every year the past 4 years – 1 move to Ohio, 1 move to TN, 1 move to a second apartment in TN – 1 move back to SC. So, we are ready to stop moving.

We were in Ohio 3 weeks ago for a visit. It was my home church’s 125th anniversary celebration. We both still have some cousins there.

💕 💕 💕 Yes I have listened to a song before and did not see the meaning till one day it just seemed to click. There was one we sang for a while in our choir that said, “I hear you singing over me, you are mighty in the midst of thee, you rejoice over me a victorious shout.” I could not get what the significance of God singing over us meant. I prayed about it and had a dream. And then, God showed me in other ways…. I have never known what it was like to sit in my earthly fathers lap while he sang to me. God showed me a picture of Himself singing a lullaby over His child. It’s a feeling of being loved…Mothers mostly do this, but to know the LOVE of the Father in this way just touched me! That’s how much He loves us! ❤️

Oh to know that kind of earthly father would be so fulfilling for any child. Glad we know and will know more of our heavenly father!
