Only a Heartbeat Away

Verse 1
This may be the most important song you’ll ever hear,
A whisper to your heart, a truth that’s crystal clear.
Jesus gave His life for you, He took your place in love,
He died upon a cross to bring you hope from up above.

Chorus
So open up your heart today, let mercy wash your sin away,
Call upon His name and say, “Jesus, I choose to believe.”
Don’t let this moment slip away —
You’re only a heartbeat away
From stepping into eternity.

Verse 2
He offers you forgiveness, a gift you cannot earn,
A promise of forever if you’ll only turn.
He calls you from the darkness to walk within His light,
He’s reaching out to save you — choose His love tonight.

Bridge
Every soul will live forever — one of two eternities,
Life with Christ in endless joy, or lost in misery.
If you choose to reject Him, you’ll face eternity in flames,
In anguish, far from mercy — but His love now calls your name.
His grace is reaching out tonight —
Just step into His light.

Chorus
So open up your heart today, let mercy wash your sin away,
Call upon His name and say, “Jesus, I choose to believe.”
Don’t let this moment slip away —
You’re only a heartbeat away
From stepping into eternity.

Today is the day of salvation.
Don’t put off your decision,
as you’re only a heartbeat away from eternity.
Now is the time.
Choose Jesus today and believe!

Chorus (reprise)
So open up your heart today, let mercy wash your sin away,
Call upon His name and say, “Jesus, I choose to believe.”
Don’t let this moment slip away —
You’re only a heartbeat away
From stepping into eternity.

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!

1 Corinthians 13:12 – Devotional

1 Corinthians 13:12

“Now we only see in a mirror dimly, ultimately we will see face to face. For now we know only in part, but in that day we will know just as we are also known.”

As a pastor I have been called upon to officiate at hundreds of funerals. In most cases I was not acquainted with the deceased individual prior to their death. In order to make the service meaningful and personal, I always meet with their families before the service to “get acquainted” with the deceased through the family’s memories.

Interestingly, after the service people have asked me how long I had known the deceased person since it sounded like we were friends. They said they knew very little of the information I shared about the person.

At times I’ve read the obituary of someone I have known for years, but had no idea the things they had experienced. I have often wished I had known that information while they were alive so we could have discussed it.

Thinking about this makes me long for a time in heaven when we will be able to know every individual who has ever lived and rejoice about the steps that brought them to accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior. What a day that will be!

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
