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.
