After this Life, I want to Be with
Viewed Last 24 Hours: 1 time

By James Pemberton
Other Poems by James Pemberton



 



After This life, I Want to Be With Jesus!



 



There’s something that no one



 needs to tell me.



There’ll be a time when



my body will fail me.



 



I can try to stay young, but no matter



 what I try.



There will come a day when



I’ll lie down and die.



 



God created me, but the sentence



 of sin prevails.



After this life is gone,



it’s either heaven or hell.



 



Jesus made a way and paid for



 my life on the cross.



Without him, I’d be forever



hopeless and lost!



 



I’m so glad that he made a way



 to be with him.



I’ve opened up my heart



 and received him!



 



Won’t you join me and accept



his salvation?



He’s waiting now, and extends



 an invitation!



 



This can be a great day both



for you and me!



To KNOW where we’ll be



 spending our eternity!

About the Poet
I and my wife have 4 grown children and currently live in the Pacific Northwest. I've spent much of my life doing volunteer work in the food distribution for the needy among local churches. Many of the poems I've written are a reflection of times of adversity as a reminder of God's love and faithfulness. I've found many opportunities to share my poems with those who are hurting and discouraged. I'm thankful for the reports of many of the poems touching people's lives. I hope that the poems included on Wordchimes will touch and bless your life too!
