Just thinking ...

... just thinking of You. I'm happy now.

I'm just sittin' here thinkin' about Jesus, rockin' as my old chair creaks
Some glad day I'll fly away when Jesus comes calling for me
It might be today, it might be tomorrow, maybe one day next week
I'll soon be done with trouble and sorrow when He comes calling for me
When Jesus comes calling for me

When I die don't grieve and cry
Lordy, don't feel sorry for me
Oh what a day, what a mighty fine day
When Jesus comes calling for me
When He comes calling for me

I might be in the graveyard walking talking to my family
Or I might be plowing in the field down yonder, just old Muley and me
Wherever I am, whatever I'm a doing, some sweet day I'll see
And band of angels in a cloud of glory when Jesus comes calling for me
When He comes calling for me

When I die just close my eyes
And lay me 'neath the willow tree
Oh what a day, what a mighty fine day
When Jesus comes calling for me
When Jesus comes calling for me

I'm just sittin' here watchin' for Jesus, rockin' as my old chair creaks
Some sweet day I'll fly away when Jesus comes calling for me
When He comes calling for me

I didn't make this post just to be worldly, You know that right Lord? I'm just thinking about You, the whole time. I'm thinking about You today, in everything I do. I love to have you with me all the day long, and then stop and look into Your face and think about You some more. You're the sunshine of my life. You make even the rain beautiful with Your sparkles, You make the storm something amazing with Your thunder and lightening! Everything around me proves Your power and Your wonder! And Your love. -- Yes, even those sunny days, when we can laugh and dance in the grass.

I say this now, not because I'm crying, not because I'm hurt or upset. On the contrary, I'm happy. And what's more, I know I'm going to be happy for the rest of my life, because I have You. Come rain or come shine, come tears or laughter, inside I'm happy. I'm in love with You.
