FUTURE BY BRENDA ALEXANDER

I love to write but I don't know a lot of fancy words.  I love to praise my Savior and most of the best-loved hymns, the words are fairly simple.  Listen to "Just as I Am" and Amazing Grace."  Many times the music is what makes it great.  I can't write music or even read it but I can write a tune.  I pray, if it's His will, to turn this into a song, and if I only ever sing it for Him, that's good enough for me.  If you critique it, please be kind.  It's my first in about 5 years!  God bless and love in Christ Jesus.  Hopfully, more to come.

                         (I Need a Name)

What once was hidden, has now become clear
Our ears have been opened and now we can hear
The glorious news that Jesus died for our sins
We believe to salvation and our new life begins

Salvation is free and a gift from above
The greatest way He shows us His love
He sent His Son to die on a tree
He did it all for you and for me

The light has come into this very dark place
He chose to give mercy, compassion and grace
Although there's so many who denies that He lives
And eternal life is a myth, one He never gives

He's just another story, one you can forever deny
Until that day when when you see satan's lie
The biggest and best one he ever has told
He doesn't exist and you cannot behold

The glory of God that you trusted so much
It was only told to be used as a crutch
That Jesus never died nor ever arose
The lie of the liar just continues and grows

It's stolen our children, our husbands and wives
No one is left, and no one even survives
We believed him and continued to spread his deceipt
"Paid in Full" was removed from our receipt

As long as you breathe and your heart still has a beat
Then there is hope for you yet, a blessing so sweet
Christ Jesus is is God, our Savior and King
Shout it from the rooftop and forever sing

To God be the glory, for He gave us His Son
Whose salvation He gives can never be undone
It is eternal, accept it today for God cannot lie
Victory is ours and you shall hear our cry

Accept Him today and I promise you this
The old life you lived, you will never miss
For this journey to Heaven is the best life of all
For He is there to catch you when you fall

We are spotless and our garments white as snow
Not by what I do nor what I think I know
It's cleansed by His blood shed on Calvary
Now His Spirit dwells inside of me

What He has joined, no one can take it away
We have His promise to be forever together one day
His Kingdom will be forever, a world without end
And in His presence we shall will never end.
