                                                     Now and Forever

 

 
    Eternal life is Jesus in my heart
Never to be apart - now and forever
There’s nothing in the way of being with You today
My Jesus, for now and forever

 
 
 
 







Eternity is now and forever
The work is done! The battle won!
I can be with You for now and forever!
The cross of Christ is the key to life
The price is paid and I am changed
I belong with You, I worship You
My Jesus, now and forever

The way to heaven’s heart is open wide
You welcome me inside for now and forever
One step of faith, there’s nothing more to do
And I’m with You for now and forever

 

 

 
   
Eternity is now and forever
The work is done! The battle won!
I can be with You for now and forever!
The cross of Christ is the key to life
The price is paid and I am changed
I belong with You, I worship You
My Jesus, now and forever

Song Notes

It was December 2002 and I was sitting at home one Sunday morning, rather than going to church, as I had not been feeling well. I sat down to pray and I began to sense “in my mind’s eye” that I was in front of a wide open gateway – it seemed to be the entrance to heaven. There was no gate, just a wide opening. A warm breeze was gently blowing – I almost felt it on my face – like a warm, spring morning. There seemed to be no barrier between me and heaven – I had open access to the Father, all I had to do was step through the gateway.

I cannot explain what happened that morning, but the experience helped me see a bit more clearly what Jesus has done for me. Previously I was separated from all that is holy because of my sinfulness, but because of Jesus I can now draw near to the very throne room of God –
“Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.”
Hebrews 4:16 NASB

Jesus has already opened wide the gates of heaven. By faith we can have open access to the very heart of heaven, where God the Father and His Son Jesus is seated – free, open access – “nothing in the way”!

This is an amazing truth, and as I thought about it further I realised that Jesus, by His Spirit, could also move freely between heaven’s throne room and my heart. In fact, He is just as comfortable – just as content – to be in my heart as He is to be seated at the right hand of the Father.

My heart is the dwelling place of God. Heaven is my home.

Jesus replied, "If anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.” 
John 14:23 NIV
“Eternal life is Jesus in my heart ……I can be with You for now and forever”.

Praise God!                                                                                               Sara Horn 2007
