WHEN I SEE JESUS

When I leave this earth below, will I see Jesus,

How will I know?

Will he be surrounded by an angel band?

Will he be sitting at God's right hand?

I know that Jesus can appear in many guises,

Had I met him here below, How would I know?

Could he have been that stranger asking for a  ride?

Could he be the bum, holding up a sign?

Could he have visited me down here below?

How would I know?

Would he be disappointed in the choices I've made?

How many times has he tried, my soul to save?

How would I know?

If Jesus should come to take me to my home on high,

Would he be holding my hand when I die?

I would know because he told me that he would lead

me to the Promised Land,

All I had to do was take hold of his nail scarred hand.

So if a stranger should come to my door, I would help

any way that I can.

I will treat the bum like any other man, and strive every

day to be the best that I can.

I know when I die, Jesus will be holding my hand
