When The Sun Sets For Me
The years have passed so swiftly
Where have they all gone
It seems like only yesterday
That my children were all home
I been in the raging battles
I had worries, tears and strive
I wish it could be better
For the sunset of my life
I wish life could be different
Where all could be so calm
Not talking of the present rage,
World War II or Viet Nam
I wish both peace and happiness
For the World I could see
Before this life is over
And the Sun Sets here for me
I can only pray my family
To Jesus they all turn
And all that I have taught them
Would be their main concern
This world is full of hatred
That takes away the joy
It's all planted by the devil
and the demons he employs
But one day soon I'm leaving
For a place where there's no tears
I will get to meet my Jesus
You know, I've waited to, for years
I will Journey Up Towards Heaven
I will be flying free
On the Good Old Gospel Ship
When the Sun Sets here for me
I'm making ready for my journey
My ticket I do hold
I got it from my Jesus
The night He saved my soul
I did not pay no money
The trip for all is free
Jesus paid my passage
One day at Calvary
He died so that I could ride
That Gospel Ship for free
Sailing towards my Savior
When the Sun Sets here for me
Now wont you come and join me?
A fare's been paid for you
Ask Jesus to forgive you
And you can go there, too
It's a Blessed Gospel Ship you know
Though it's hull is bent and torn
It will be passing this way soon
It might be before the morn
So I'll keep my ticket in my hand
In my heart will be HIS Love
And when the Sun Sets here for me
I'll have Plenty Light above
It wont be long now I think
My sun is sinking low
I can see the Blue Horizon
That is how I can know
I feel closer to My Jesus
Still more closer I want to be
He will Reach out with open Arms
When the Sun Sets here for me
