“Now when Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed him, for they were all waiting for him.”

Luke 8:40 ESV

You left an empty tomb to fill my empty heart

Love and mercy flowing from each wound 

How I wish I had known You from the start 

Lord Jesus, please return one day soon

You bore all my sins on the Cross to redeem 

Imparting your righteousness to the unworthy 

Suffering the stripes and nails meant for me

The lame now walk and the blind can see

You left an empty tomb to fill my empty heart

Love and mercy flowing from each wound 

How I wish I had known You from the start 

Lord Jesus, please return one day soon

The Holy Spirit fills me with love beyond measure 

Your joy cannot be contained in this earthly jar

My eternal hope is in my heavenly treasure!

God’s grace embodied in His only Son forever!

You left an empty tomb to fill my empty heart

Love and mercy flowing from each wound 

How I wish I had known You from the start 

Lord Jesus, please return one day soon!

                                                                                    

“He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming soon.” Amen. Come,

 Lord Jesus!”

Revelation 22:20 ESV
