When I Travel With Jesus



"Twill be easy to pack when I travel with Jesus,
Leave this old earth and take to the air,
Leaving the trials and doubts all behind me,
For nothing of these ever entereth there.

"Twill be easy to pack when I travel with Jesus,
Leaving behind all the worries and fuss,
No need to think as I wing my way upward,
"I wonder what others are thinking of us?"

"Twill be easy to pack when I travel with Jesus,
Easy to leave all the old life behind -
Easy to loose all the old ties that bind me,
For naught of the past shall be brought into mind.

"Twill be easy to pack when I travel with Jesus,
Be ready, O heart, as you press on the road -
Ready if Jesus should come now and call you -
Ready for Jesus to lighten your load.

I got that from a dear friend today, and I think it sure says a lot! Nothing worth worrying about, because it's not going with us anyway!!
