Avoid These Ways To Miss Heaven

 


Before I List The Ways To Miss Heaven
Remember That Jesus Is The Only Way To Heaven

     There are many ways to miss heaven but only one way through Jesus Christ to get to heaven. Jesus said at John 14:6 I am the way, the truth, and the life; no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. Acts 4:12 says Neither is there salvation in any other; for there is none other name (Jesus) under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. Just have faith in the finished work that Jesus did at the cross of Calvary (not your good works) and you will go to heaven. Ephesians 2:8 says For by grace are ye saved through faith (in Jesus alone); and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God. Not of works, lest any man should boast. Right now get saved; Repent, decide to stop sinning, confess everywhere that Jesus is God, and believe the gospel that Jesus died for you on the cross, was buried, and rose again.

     Right now make sure that you're saved and going to heaven with Jesus when you leave this world. 2 Peter 1:10 says Wherefore the rather brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure, for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall. The most important thing on this earth to be sure about is knowing that you'll go to heaven after you leave this world. More than knowing that you have your rent or house payment ready this month, be more sure that you're going to heaven when you leave this world. More than knowing that you went to the BMV to get your drivers license current, be more sure that you got your name in the book of life and that you're going to heaven when you leave this world.



Avoid These Ways To Miss Heaven
1) Trusting In Church Membership To Get To Heaven

     The first way to miss heaven is trusting only in your church membership to get you to heaven. Being a Catholic, Methodist, or Presbyterian won't get you to heaven. Attending church every Sunday of your life won't save you and get you to heaven. Judas attended church with Jesus and went to his own place in the bottomless pit as the Son of Perdition noted at Acts 1:25 and missed heaven. 

     Someone could belong to every church in America and die without God and go to hell. Someone could be baptized thousands of times in a lake where the tadpoles know their social security number by heart and then die without God and miss heaven. Remember we sing Amazing grace how sweet the sound; not Amazing baptism how sweet the splash. We sing At the cross, at the cross where I first saw the light; not at the millpond, at the millpond where I first got dunked. We sing What can wash away my sins, nothing but the blood of Jesus; not what can wash away my sins, nothing but the water. The thief on the cross by Jesus didn't get baptized in water (he was dry cleaned) but instead by faith trusted only in Jesus and received salvation.

Sitting in a garage won't make you a car
Walking through a barn won't make you a mule
Sitting in a bakery won't make you a donut
(You might look like one but it won't make you a donut)
And going to church won't make you a christian

I'm not a christian because I go to church
I go to church because I am a christian
Attending church is important; 1 puts 1000 to flight and 2 puts 10000 to flight
But going to church without trusting Jesus won't save anyone

Remember only faith in Jesus gets anyone to heaven
Trust Jesus and go to heaven; Trust anything else and go to hell



Avoid These Ways To Miss Heaven
2) Doing The Best You Can With Good Works To Get To Heaven

     The second way to miss heaven is doing the best you can with good works to get to heaven without faith in Jesus. The best anyone could possibly do without Jesus falls short when it comes to going to heaven. Psalm 39:5 says Behold thou hast made my days as an handbreadth and mine age is as nothing before thee; verily, every man at his best state is altogether vanity; Selah. 

     Doing the best you can without Jesus won't get you to heaven. Romans 3:23 says For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. When you ask most people if they're going to heaven, they'll reply I'm doing the best I can; I'm not killing anyone or doing a wicked ungodly vile sin; I hope I'm going to heaven. I'm trusting in my good works to get me to heaven. Tell these people that Galatians 2:21 says I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain. If our good works saved us, Jesus would not have had to die on the cross for our sins to save us by grace. God doesn't want us to boast about our good works; instead God wants us to boast about Jesus and praise Jesus for allowing His blood to wash away our sins unto salvation. 1 Corinthians 1:31 says That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord. 

     Most people think that after we leave this world, God weighs on a scale our good works versus our bad works and whatever weighs the most determines if you go to heaven or hell. I'm glad this isn't the way to heaven because everyone's bad works always outweigh their good works. Paul said at Romans 7:18 For I know that in me (that is in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing. But rejoice if you're saved with Jesus because Jesus' righteousness will always tilt the scale where your good works with Jesus will outweigh your bad works (never to be remembered and washed away by the blood of Jesus) allowing you to enter into heaven.



Avoid These Ways To Miss Heaven
3) Trusting In An Organization Like The Masonic Club To Get To Heaven

     The third way to miss heaven is trusting in an organization like the Masonic Club without Jesus to get to heaven. Becoming a member of the Moose, Goose, Elks, Frogs, Turtles, or the Lodge without Jesus won't get you to heaven. People will go to a Lodge instead of church saying that their good works in the Lodge to give food and clothes to orphans and homeless people will get them to heaven. It's good that the Lodge and the shriners help people everywhere with money from charity. But doing good works in a Lodge won't save anyone and get them to heaven. 

Jesus didn't die for a Lodge
Jesus didn't pay a price for the Lodge
Jesus died for the church

     Remember the Moose Lodge might feed people and build hospitals, but the Moose Lodge and the Masons won't help anyone after they die. On the other hand, the church and anointed preachers are in the business of helping people after they leave this world that is so much better than any Lodge.

     My advice to anyone is to beware of the Masons and the Masonic Lodge. The top leaders of the Masons worship the devil. One of the worst devil worshippers named Aleister Crowley was a Freemason. Even though the Masonic Lodge does good deeds with shriners, they require their members to keep secrets and only do favors for rich influential members of their Lodge. Christians should not belong to any organization that requires you to keep secrets and respect only certain groups of people with discrimination. Christians should witness openly showing the love of Jesus to all people without discrimination in the light with no secrets about Jesus, salvation, and the Word of God. Jesus Himself said at John 18:20 in secret have I said nothing.

     John 3:19 warns us to avoid Masons and Lodges that do evil deeds in secret to influence wealthy businessmen and control society. John 3:19 describes Masonic Lodges saying And this is the condemnation, that Light (Jesus) is come into the world and men loved darkness rather than light because their deeds were evil; For every man that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved; But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. After reading these warnings about Masonic Lodges, my advice to anyone that belongs to a Masonic Lodge is to quit. 


Avoid These Ways To Miss Heaven
4) Trying To Keep The 10 Commandments To Get To Heaven

     The fourth way to miss heaven is trying to keep the 10 commandments to get to heaven. James 2:10 says For whosoever shall keep the whole law and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. According to the Word of God, if you have a hateful thought about anyone you are a murderer. 1John 3:15 says Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. If you have a lustful thought about a woman or a man, you are guilty of adultery. If you ever tell a lie, you are guilty of bearing false witness against thy neighbor. After reading this you should realize that under the law and the 10 commandments with man it's impossible to get saved. 

     But rejoice because when you get saved with Jesus, you are free from the curse of the law and the blood of Jesus removes the guilt of all your past sins making you white as snow with no remembrance of your past sins. Rejoice and say Romans 10:4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. 

I'm not going to heaven because I kept the 10 commandments
I'm going to heaven because I'm trusting in the only person (Jesus)
who kept all the 10 commandments


Avoid The Many Wide Broad Ways To Miss Heaven
Choose The Strait Narrow Way (Jesus) To Get To Heaven

     Avoid the many wide broad ways to miss heaven; Choose the strait narrow Way (Jesus) to get to heaven. Matthew 7:13 says Enter ye in  at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. 

     Notice the incredible picture above where a strait narrow gate climbing to faith only in the cross of Jesus will get us to heaven instead of the easy wide broad gate with the pleasure of sin for a season that leads to eternal destruction in the fires of hell. Remember choose faith in Jesus only trusting daily that the cross of Jesus can remove all your problems and faith in Jesus only can take you to heaven instead of the false broad ways of religion and good works for salvation. 

     I pray in Jesus name that this little bible study blesses multitudes all over this earth with great joy, peace, and strength. Feel free to email Brother Bob anytime at rz9tlm@gmail.com or write to Brother Bob Malkin, 2233 Pinetree Lane, Apt., N., Reynoldsburg, Ohio 43068. (614) 604-7133. Till we all meet again soon to lift up our Lord Jesus, everyone have a blessed day in Jesus name.

Don't Procrastinate And Make Excuses

 


Don't Procrastinate And Make Excuses

     Don't procrastinate and make excuses. Procrastinate means to delay or postpone anything. Don't procrastinate and put off until tomorrow what you ought to do today. Remember procrastination is the enemy of success. Proverbs 27:1 says Boast not thyself of tomorrow, for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth. In other words don't brag about what you'll do tomorrow (when you'll retire and how you'll spend your money in two years) because you don't know what a day may bring forth. Instead live one day at a time being thankful for your daily food, clothing, and shelter saying if the Lord will I will do this or that. James 4:13 says Go to now, ye that say, to day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain: Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that. 

They asked Alexander the Great after conquering the world at age 30
How did you conquer the world at such a young age?
His answer was by not delaying; I just went ahead and did it

     Be like Alexander the Great and don't delay getting saved with Jesus. Don't procrastinate and put off salvation until a later date.  Just do it right now before it's too late. It's so easy to get saved and it's the most important decision you'll ever make on this earth. 2 Corinthians 6:2 says For He (Jesus) saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee; behold, now is the accepted time, behold now is the day of salvation. Hebrews 3:15 says While it is said To day, if you will hear His voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation. Right now get saved; Repent, decide to stop sinning, confess that Jesus is God, and believe the gospel that Jesus died for you on the cross, was buried, and rose again. 


Don't Join The Procrastinator Club
Instead Get Saved Right Now With Our Lord Jesus

     Don't join the procrastinator club that currently exists and delay getting saved with Jesus. The rules of the procrastinator club are as follows: 1) They have a yearly meeting that is always a week late. 2) If you pay your dues on time they kick you out of the club. 3) Their motto is Anything worth doing is worth putting off. 4) They celebrate Christmas during June and the Fourth of July during January. 5) Finally they have a National Snail race every year. The snail that crosses the finish line last will be declared the winner. I just had to add this humor: Why did the snail paint an S on his racecar (a blessed word that is spelled the same forwards and backwards)? So when he passed by, people could rejoice and say Wow look at the escargot. 


Don't Procrastinate Like The People on Caribbean Martinique Island
That Lived By The Mount Pelee Volcano Pictured Above In 1902

     Don't procrastinate like the people on Caribbean Martinique island that lived by the Mount Pelee volcano. In 1902 the city of Saint Pierre was located below the Mount Pelee volcano on the French Martinique island. On May 8, 1902 at 8:02 AM the Mount Pelee volcano erupted and destroyed the city of Saint Pierre and 28000 residents lost their lives. 

     Note though that all the residents of Saint Pierre were warned for an entire week before May 8, 1902 that Mount Pelee was going to blow up but no one listened. For an entire week, everyone in Saint Pierre was told Mount Pelee is gonna blow. But all the people in this city said Well it didn't blow up yesterday; It didn't blow up today; When I look around my neighbors aren't scared; I don't see anyone moving out so I'm not moving out. And 28000 people died because they procrastinated and didn't listen to warnings to move out to safety. 

     Right now, like the people of Saint Pierre, multitudes of people on this earth are planning on going to heaven and avoiding hell but they delay getting saved so they can enjoy the pleasure of sin for a season. Billions of people on this earth are saying I feel fine, I'm healthy, the sun is shining outside, all my bills are paid, and I don't need Jesus right now. But Jesus warns us in the bible that after death without Jesus people will go to hell and suffer eternal destruction. Jesus warned us at Matthew 10:28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him (Jesus) which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

     Some things get procrastinated with no consequences. People who dread completing taxes procrastinate and wait until April 14 to complete their taxes for the IRS. People procrastinate and wait two months to mow their lawn while others procrastinate and wait an extra week to do the laundry. But you don't want to procrastinate and put off getting saved with Jesus. You could put off getting saved with Jesus one day too many where like Esau you can't find a place of repentance to get saved though you seek it carefully with tears (Hebrews 12:17). Get saved right now with Jesus and escape eternal torment and destruction in hell and the lake of fire.


Excuses By Procrastinators That Delay Salvation With Jesus
1) God hasn't spoken to me yet to get saved

     The first excuse procrastinators say to delay salvation with Jesus is God hasn't spoken to me yet to get saved. Tell these people that God is speaking to you right now through his Word. Isaiah 55:6 says Seek ye the Lord while He may be found, call ye upon Him while He is near; (In other words one day God won't be found and one day God won't be near so get saved right now); Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and He will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon.

Excuses By Procrastinators That Delay Salvation With Jesus
2) I can't get saved because I'm living with my girlfriend or boyfriend who's not saved

     The second excuse procrastinators say to delay salvation with Jesus is I can't get saved because I'm living with my girlfriend or boyfriend who's not saved. These people will say I know that it's wrong to live together outside of marriage but I love him or her and I don't want to leave them. Tell these people that there's nobody worth going to hell for. Tell them to get saved and get married for Jesus and raise kids for Jesus. Tell them to follow the blessed correct roadmap instructions of the KJV bible for peace at Hebrews 13:4 that says Marriage (between a man and woman; not a man with a man or a woman with a woman) is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled; but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge. 

     Tell these procrastinators, that a woman at the well lived with six men and got saved by Jesus. You're not disqualified from getting saved because you shacked up with someone for years. Revelation 22:17 tells us And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely. 

Excuses By Procrastinators That Delay Salvation With Jesus
3) I'm not ready to get saved

     The third excuse procrastinators say to delay salvation with Jesus is I'm not ready to get saved. Tell these procrastinators You won't get much of anything done until you do it before you're ready. Jesus is always ready to save everyone and it doesn't matter if you're not ready to get saved or how you feel. 2 Peter 3:9 says The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to usward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.  Don't wait and procrastinate to get saved; You better get saved before you're ready or it might be too late to get saved. People spend four years in college for a career that lasts around fifty years but they won't take five minutes to decide where they'll spend eternity. Get saved right now.



Excuses By Procrastinators That Delay Salvation With Jesus
4) I can't get saved and lose the fun of riches, drugs, alcohol, and partying

     The fourth excuse procrastinators say to delay salvation with Jesus is I can't get saved and lose the fun of riches, drugs, alcohol, and partying. Tell these people that the pleasure of sin with fun is only for a season and ends in misery (Hebrews 11:25); but the joy with Jesus after salvation is forever and better than any earthly pleasure. Psalm 16:11 promises Thou wilt shew me the path of life; in thy presence (Jesus) is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. 

     Don't procrastinate about your salvation with Jesus. Read the following story about the picture above where the captain on a ship took the treasure he discovered on an island and hid it under his bed in the bottom of a ship. Several days later the ship began to sink and all the crew members got on lifeboats. But the captain went down to get his treasure under his bed at the bottom of the ship. After the captain grabbed his treasure when he came up on the deck of the ship, all the lifeboats were gone. And the ship went down; the captain, treasure, and all.

     Don't be like this captain and hold onto something to stop you from getting saved with Jesus. Don't hold on to smoking pot, drinking beer, or living with a man or woman outside of marriage to stop you from getting saved. Don't go down with the ship; You better let go of that sin and get saved with Jesus right now. Remember you don't straighten out your life and then come to Jesus; You come to Jesus problems and all and let God straighten out your life and save you. 

You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today

     You can not escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today. If you have problems, get saved today with Jesus and go to church. Don't say I can't get saved because I have to work on Sundays. You can get saved while working on your job on Sunday morning or Sunday evening. And if you need healed from a sickness, get saved and healed with Jesus who is the balm of Gilead (medicine in the Rock). Jeremiah 46:11 promises Go ye up into Gilead (The Rock Jesus), and take balm (medicine from Dr. Jesus by looking to the cross saying I am crucfied with Christ daily where your sickness will be healed and removed), O virgin, the daughter of Egypt: in vain shalt thou use many medicines, for thou shalt not be cured. 

     I pray in Jesus name that this little bible study will encourage people everywhere on this earth to get saved right now without procrastination or excuses. Feel free to email Brother Bob anytime at rz9tlm@gmail.com or write to Brother Bob Malkin 2233 Pinetree Lane, Apt. N., Reynoldsburg, Ohio 43068. (614) 604-7133. Till we all meet again soon to lift up our Lord Jesus, everyone have a blessed day in Jesus name.

Blessings Always Happen When Jesus Passes By

 


Blessings Always Happen When Jesus Passes By

     Blessings always happen when Jesus passes by. I've never met a person that regretted having Jesus in their life. Jesus always makes a person better and changes their sinful life into a blessed joyful life. 2 Corinthians 5:17 says Therefore, if any man be in Christ he is a new creature; old things are passed away; behold all things are become new. Psalm 16:11 promises Thou (Jesus) wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. Right now let Jesus pass by you and get saved; Repent, decide to stop sinning, confess everywhere that Jesus is God, and believe in your heart the gospel that Jesus died for you on the cross, was buried, and rose again.


Blessings Happened When Jesus Passed By The Blind Jewish Boy

     Blessings happened when Jesus passed by the blind Jewish boy. John 9:1 says And as Jesus passed by, He saw a man which was blind from his birth. John 9:6 goes on to say When He (Jesus) had thus spoken, He spat on the ground and made clay of the spittle and He anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay. And He said unto him, Go wash in the pool of Siloam (which is by interpretation Sent). He went his way therefore and washed and came seeing. 

     Like this blind boy, if you need a healing today, by faith ask Jesus to pass by saying I am crucified with Christ and Jesus will destroy your sickness and heal you from the cross that is the same yesterday, today, and forever. When Jesus passed by the blind Jewish boy, He created two new eyes from clay. When Jesus healed Malchus (the Roman soldier injured by Peter in the garden of Gethsemane) He created a new ear or reattached his injured ear after it hopped onto his head from the ground. Remember it's not getting religion or turning over a new leaf that brings blessings. It's Jesus passing by that brings the blessings. 

After the Jewish Boy Got Healed When Jesus Passed By He Said

What the hand is to the lute
What the lips are to the flute
What the water is to the sea
That's what Jesus is to me


Blessings Happened When Jesus Passed By The Widow Of Nain

     Blessings happened when Jesus passed by the widow of Nain. Luke 7:11 says And it came to pass the day after, that He (Jesus) went into a city called Nain and many of His disciples went with Him and much people. Now when He came nigh to the gate of the city, behold there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow and much people of the city was with her. Luke 7:13 goes on to say And when the Lord saw her, He had compassion on her and said unto her Weep not. And He came and touched the bier (coffin), and they that bare him stood still. And He said, Young man, I say unto thee arise; And he that was dead sat up and began to speak. And He delivered him to his mother. 

After The Widow Of Nain's Son Got Healed When Jesus Passed By She Said

What food is to the hungry man
What raindrops are to a thirsty land
What the leaves are to the tree
That's what Jesus is to me


Blessings Happened When Jesus Passed By Blind Bartimaeus

     Blessings happened when Jesus passed by blind Bartimaeus. Mark 10:46 says And they came to Jericho and as He (Jesus) went out of Jericho with his disciples and a great number of people, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus sat by the highway side begging. And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and say, Jesus, thou son of David have mercy on me. 

     Mark 10:48 says And many charged him that he should hold his peace, but he cried the more a great deal, Thou son of David, have mercy on me. And Jesus stood still and commanded him to be called. And they call the blind man, saying to him, Be of good comfort, rise, He calleth thee; And he casting away his garment, rose and came to Jesus. And Jesus answered and said unto him, What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? The blind man said unto him Lord, that I might receive my sight. And Jesus said unto him, Go thy way, thy faith hath made thee whole; And immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus in the way. 

After Bartimaeus Got Healed When Jesus Passed By He Said

What the glitter is to gold
What the joy is to the soul
What the beauty of flowers is to trees
That's what Jesus is to me


Blessings Happened When Jesus Passed By The Woman At The Well

     Blessings happened when Jesus passed by the woman at the well. When Jesus asked this woman for a drink of water, the woman of Samaria replied at John 4:9 How is it that thou being a Jew, askest drink of me which am a woman of Samaria for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans. Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God and who it is that saith to thee Give me to drink, thou wouldst have asked of Him and He would have given thee living water.  

     Notice that next when the woman asked Jesus for the living water, Jesus told her about her sin of living with six men that needed repentance before salvation and living water. John 4:15 says The woman saith unto Him, Sir give me this water that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw; Jesus saith unto her, Go call thy husband and come hither. The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou has well said, I have no husband. For thou hast had five husbands, and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband, in that saidst thou truly.

     Notice that once the woman at the well realized her sin of fornication, she repented and got gloriously saved. Remember repentance and turning away from your past sins is required before salvation. After the woman at the well repented, she left her waterpot at the well because she found the living water Jesus. Notice also that after salvation, christians will want to tell everyone about salvation with Jesus. This woman at the well preached Jesus to multitudes of men in Samaria who she took to Jesus for salvation. Blessings always happen when Jesus passes by. 


Blessings Happened When Jesus Passed By A Little Boy's Mean Father

     Blessings happened when Jesus passed by a little boy's mean father. This mean father used to get drunk, cuss all the time, and yell at his dog. But one day Jesus passed by this mean father and saved his soul. After salvation, this saved father took his little boy to church every Sunday; The little boy's father rejoiced and leaped for joy every Sunday at church. 

     But one Sunday the deacon pictured above told the little boy Your daddy is just a dreamin'. The little boy replied, Please Mr. Deacon, if he's dreamin' please don't wake him up. Because when he was woke up, he used to drink, cuss, and be mean to everyone. So please Mr. Deacon, if he's dreamin' please don't wake him up. Just leave him alone. 

     Friends, this old world thinks that saved christians rejoicing about Jesus are just dreamin'. Brother Bob says reply to these lost sinners, Well if I'm dreamin', please don't wake me up. Just leave me alone. Because Jesus is better than anything that this world has to offer. 


Receive Strength And Peace; Say The Poem Below
Jesus Is Passing By Today

Don't be discouraged because of the struggles you're going through
In the trials, your temptations, and the storms of your life
Jesus is always with you

When you need Him the most, He's always passing by
Call on His name, invite Him into your heart. 
Ask Him to join you in the midst of the storm
Then the winds of despair will cease, and the waves of tumult will calm down

You don't have to do this alone
For Jesus comes as a friend.
He wants to help you
He wants to lift you up
He wants to ease your burdens
He's passing by today


And sing the words below of Since Jesus Passed By

Like a blind man I wandered so lost and undone
A beggar so helpless without God or His Son
Then my Savior in mercy heard and answered my cry
And Oh what a difference since Jesus passed by

Since Jesus passed by; Since Jesus passed by
Oh What a Difference since Jesus passed by
Well I can't explain it and I cannot tell you why
But Oh what a difference since Jesus passed by

All my yesterdays are buried in the deepest of the sea
That old load of guilt I carried; It's all gone; Praise God I'm free
Looking for that bright tomorrow where no tears will dim the eye
And Oh what a difference since Jesus passed by
