A GOSPEL MINISTRY
FROM NORTHERN IRELAND

I am retired, widowed, mother of 2 sons, 3 stepchildren, 11 grandchildren.  I love to write articles, poems, humorous stories of my life's happenings.  Love to read the Holy Bible and Christian devotionals.  Enjoy working on my computer and have created and maintain websites for a few friends, as well as two for myself.  You can see them all here http://servingwithjoy.com

I have a Heavenly home,
Up there no more will I roam;
I’ll praise and sing to Jesus my King,
In my brand-new Heavenly Home!

For a brand new day is breaking;
A brand new home He’s making;
A brand new life He has given to me.
When He arrives, we’ll meet in the skies;
Hallelujah! Forever set free!

Nothing down here can compare to Up There;
Beauty we can’t even see;
One day we’ll arise
And sail thro’ the skies;
What glories await you and me!

For Heaven is filled with such splendor;
Beauty and glory untold;
When we get up there
Such blessings we’ll share;
Such wonders our eyes shall behold!

In Heaven there will be no more heartaches;
Troubles and pains nevermore;
All fears and tears will be vanished;
All diseases and death will be over;

Saints will rejoice in the Victory,
Worshiping God on His Throne;
And Jesus will say on that Glorious Day:
Enter, thou good and faithful servant;
My child, I welcome you Home!

When I step onto that street of pure gold,
Nothing will matter, I'll be safe in His fold;
I'll be greeted with a hug, a smile, a crown;
I'll be treated like royalty "out on the town."

Welcome Home, My child, is one gift in store,
Spoken by JESUS whom I love and adore.
No more worries to trouble;  no more heartaches to bear;
My Master and Lord JESUS CHRIST will be there!

So I’m walking right now by faith not by sight
On a street made of gold where the Lamb is the Light,
Where heartache is unheard of, where tears never fall,
Where Life is in JESUS, where death cannot call,

Where riches in Christ I now call my own --
But oh, how I’m longing, I’m longing for Home!

Sharon Maxwell

I brought to Christ life stained with sin,
Rebellion, pride, deep down within;
Then by His grace I was set free
By the Blood of the Lamb at Calvary . . .

Remembers no more!
Remembers no more!
My sin He remembers no more!
Remembers no more!
Remembers no more!
Praise God, He remembers no more!

I brought to Him one broken heart,
Torn in two, shattered apart;
Beyond repair, or so I thought;
But, praise His Name,
Love conquered the pain!

Remembers no more!
Remembers no more!
My sin He remembers no more!
Remembers no more!
Remembers no more!
Praise God, He remembers no more!

Yes, I bro’t a bag of trash filled with sin, guilt and shame,
That He couldn’t use, but, oh, praise His Name,
He took it anyway and buried it
In the Sea of His Forgetfulness . . .

Now He remembers no more!
Remembers no more!
My sins He remembers no more!
Remembers no more!
Remembers no more!
Praise God! He remembers no more!

I'm going to leave this old world singing, because I'm going Home!
The Lord is coming for me, and I know it won’t be long!
He said He would come for me; and I know His Word is True!
Glory Hallelujah! He won’t be overdue!

Glory Hallelujah! He's coming after me!
Glory Hallelujah! From sin I've been set free!
No longer need I worry or tarry here below!
Glory Hallelujah! He's overcome the foe!

I've been down here for so long, but now I'm going Home!
A pilgrim and a stranger here and I've felt so alone.
But in faith I claim His promise -- He has a place for me!
Glory Hallelujah! With Him I soon will be!

Glory Hallelujah! He's coming soon I know!
Glory Hallelujah! No more pain or woe!
Glory Hallelujah! I'll shout and praise and sing!
Glory Hallelujah! To Jesus Christ my King!

What a reason for praise! I’ll be with the Lord forever! What words to enliven and rejuvenate a weary and worn heart! I’M GOING HOME! Won't you come with me?

Sharon Maxwell

Praise the Lord! Hallelu!
JESUS loves me; JESUS loves you;
He is our Lord, our God and our King;
Hallelujah! Let praises ring!

My heart was black, stained with sin,
Then JESUS Christ the Lord came in;
He covered me o'er from head to toe
With His cleansing blood,
And now I know:

My sins are forgiven! I am set free!
God's Holy Spirit is living in me!
Now I am His and He is mine;
I'm a child of God! O joy sublime!

Praise the Lord! Hallelu!
JESUS loves me; JESUS loves you;
He is our Lord, our God and our King;
Hallelujah! Let praises ring!

He's coming back, just like He said!
God has raised Him from the dead!
He's coming soon for you and me
To take us Home for Eternity!

Praise the Lord! Hallelu!
JESUS loves me! JESUS loves you!
He is our Lord, our God and our King!
Hallelujah! Let praises ring!
Hallelujah! Let praises ring!
Hallelujah....let...praises...ring!

I was lonely, yet so pride-filled,
Thirsty . . . hungry . . . empty, too;
Shackled by a heavy burden,
Chains of fear within me grew.

Bound for hell, a hopeless sinner;
“Jesus, on me, mercy show!”
In an instant I was a winner
For Christ cast out every foe!

All shackles have been torn asunder;
>From frightful fears I am finally free!
The Lord of Glory, my Master Jesus,
Lives in and reigns o’er even me!

Hallelujah to the Savior!
Hallelujah to the Lamb!
His Blood has covered my sins forever,
And by His Grace His child I am!
