about

One day I had a Vision about what it will be like when we first meet Jesus face-to-face. There was a multitude of people, too many to imagine, of every creed and color, all in a line stretching to a shallow spot in the River of Life. There stood Jesus ankle deep in the river wearing a knee length sparkling white robe. As people got close enough to see, some were waved away to a desert-like place to return later, some ran away and tried to hide, some laughed, some cried, some knelt in the river to kiss His feet. To those who waded into the river He offered a cupful of the Living Water from the river. And the things they were hiding from fell away and they saw the truth of their living and the choices they made. He embraced each one and directed them to cross the river and climb a hill where the Tree of Life stood. The Father stood by the tree and inquired of each one which piece of fruit they wanted Him to pick. After they consumed the fruit they became like children under His watchful gaze. And then they went down the hill running and laughing to join a multitude of other children heading over a hill to the "New Jerusalem" and became lost in the crowd . . .

lyrics

We'll all go Down to the Place
by the River of Life:
where we'll See
the Savior in His Glory,
And He'll look at You,
through the Eyes of the Giver of Life:
then you'll See
the Love that is His Story.

Will you Run
Will you Hide,
Will you Laugh
or Will You Cry?
Will you Fall
on your Knees,
From the Feeling
Inside you?

When you See that the Choice
that you've Made with your Living:
is the Answer You Take
to His Heart which is Love.
As He Offers His Life
to the Children who are Willing:
will You Finally Glad
be Chosen from Above?

Eternity can be Yours:
an End to all your Sorrow.
Well it might Be a million Years,
or It could be Tomorrow:
When We'll all go Down to the Place
by the River of Life
where we'll See
the Savior in His Glory . . .
