P. 395
I am longing to arrive into heaven's countryside,
//1 desire// to arrive!
CHORUS
There's no more crying, there's no more pain,
There's no more sinning, no death exists there;
I am a pilgrim, I am a stranger,
//Time is fleeting// on this Earth.
2
In the horizon I see my homeland,
//Where eternal sunbeams shine//;
//Sunbeams always// shining bright,
This land is lonely, sad and in darkness.
When many dangers are thrown at me,
I only ask you, my divine Shepherd;
//Always be my faithful guide//
//Guide me faithful// dearest Lord.
2nd. CHORUS
I will be ready, for our encounter,
Until I'm living with you in heaven;
Heavenly Shepherd, I only ask you,
//That you guide me// only you.
544. l'M A SOLDIER OF CHRIST
SOY SOLDADO DE CRISTO
1 Tim 6.12 BATTLE / 1 Tim 6.12 YOUTH
I'm a soldier of Christ, Jesus Christ my saving Lord,
I will battle for Him, in this wage defending faith;
With my eyes on the Lord, on my Captain is my sight,
I will fight and defeat all Satan's hosts.
CHORUS
Oh, hear the voice of Jesus who is calling,
//Unto the battle//
Oh, hear the voice of Jesus as He tells us,
Who will join Him in the fray?
I am a soldier of the Lord Jesus,
And through faith I will triumph in the war;
I am a soldier of the Lord Jesus,
I will triumph, yes, victory is mine.
