I am an ordinary person, closely acquainted with imperfection and frailty, who boasts about the greatness of Jesus Christ and His transforming work in my life. Wife, homeschooling mother of 5, and musician/song writer. My desire is to share from my journey and hopefully be an encouragement to others.

Come, Lord Jesus

Once as we waited for a Messiah
Waited with longing to finally see
   all of our hopes fulfilled in His kingdom
We walked in darkness and longed to be free

Come, Messiah
Build Your kingdom
We are waiting for a Savior
Come as promised to deliver
Come and reign upon Your throne

Now we are waiting, our hearts fixed in wonder
Waiting to see our Lord's glorious appearing
All of our hope rests in Jesus our Savior
His kingdom now we can see He's preparing

Come, Lord Jesus
Build Your kingdom
We are watching, we are ready
Come and make us
Pure and holy
Come, Lord Jesus, build Your throne

     Heaven is waiting, saints of old gath'ring
     Mansions are ready to be occupied
     Come, Lord Jesus, Come receive us
     As Your pure and spotless bride!

Come, Lord Jesus
Come, Lord, quickly
We are waiting
We are ready
Come and take us to the Father
Come and take Your children home
Come, Lord Jesus, take us home
