Description

The blessing of God's presence will be fully enjoyed by those who love him and yearn for his guidance, provision, and salvation. That's the promise of God recorded in Revelation 21:1-3

Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them,  and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God.



God's presence is a blessing for which his people long. It's better even than a visit from the grandparents!

Don't Make Me Have to Come Down There

Dolly Parton

Last night I had a dream about God

He was standing on a mountain top

Looking down, around in such dismay

And in my dream I heard him sayDon't make me have to come down there

My children, you had best beware

If you don't pay attention, consequences will be dire

Don't make me have to come down thereI've told you time and time again

You can't disobey and hope to win

I am still the boss here in case there's any doubt

You know I put you in this world and I can take you outDon't make me have to come down there

You've always been my cross to bear

I've let you try my patience as all good Fathers do

You're on my last nerve, I have had it up to here with youI gave you a book, you didn't read it

I gave you my word, you didn't heed it

Gave you a map, you said you didn't need it

And now you've lost direction and you're wandering aimlesslyDon't make me have to come down there

This is not a game of truth or dare

Now I don't want to punish you, but if it has to be

This is gonna hurt you more than it hurts meDon't make me have to come down there

Bridge this great divide and make repairs

Go to your room and pray 'til you can learn to play fair

Don't make me have to come down therePolitics, earthquakes, erratic weather

Pandemics, war, and hate

Turn a deaf ear, a blind eye; I am wondering whether

I should take my Bible belt and whip you into shapeDon't make me have to come down there

My children you had best beware

Clean up this mess and put on something decent to wear

Don't make me have to come down thereDon't make me have to come down there

My children you had best beware

Why can't you learn to listen, and learn to love and share

Don't make me have to come down thereDon't make me have to come down there

Don't make me come down there...
