What I'll get
by Dennis Bazzell Thank you Lord for saving my soul Maybe I'll play in the Super Bowl I'm awfully excited about what I'll get A Mustang a Camaro or maybe a Vette I wonder Lord if an automobile Could actually be part of the deal The payments enormous the insurance extreme I can't afford to buy Coffee or sugar or cream How shallow of me to think that you are Given praise for the actions of a superstar No tribulation is the way of the cross Its trials temptation suffering and loss Okay Lord, now watch me endure I know that I am now quite mature Enough is enough Lord when will it end I think its time for my ship to come in!! Now I've got it, History will say He was quite faithful, He walked in the way He fought a good fight finished his course He rides into heaven On a great white horse Lord you know I'm so alone It's seems I'm forgotten before I'm gone You are my shield and Exceeding great reward; My constant companion; My savior and Lord. Now I face life's final test What if there is not a land Of peace joy and rest? What if the story is just A crutch for the weak To get them from the Valley to the next peak? What's this I feel, It has an old familiar ring The Sun of God rising With healing in his wings I feel him now with me, I'm sure it's the Lord He tells me he loves me, To just trust his word This is the deepest valley I've ever been in But my faith is stronger Than it's ever been I'm lifted up beyond All fear and doubt I hear the angels singing And starting to shout I sit in an arena alongside The heroes of faith We applaud those that are Still running the race I see a new runner I never have met I hear him say Lord I'm excited about what I'll get. A Mustang, Camaro or maybe a Vette I am the pastor of Johnson Rd General Baptist Church in Granite City IL.
