To measure something

 

                you have to find one end,

 

Then stretch your fingers,

 

                your legs (walk), your mind,

 

And find the other end.

 

Can you m-e-a-s-u-r-e

 

                Eternity?

A SURER HOPE

Lord, I want to flee the inner plain,

To climb the inner slope

To leave the normal in the main

Norman J Clayton – birth, Jan. 22, 1903

Now I belong to Jesus
Jesus, my Lord will love me forever,
From Him no pow’r of evil can sever,
He gave His life to ransom my soul;
Now I belong to Him;

Refrain

Now I belong to Jesus,
Jesus belongs to me,
Not for the years of time alone,
But for eternity.

Once I was lost in sin’s degradation,
Jesus came down to bring me salvation,
Lifted me up from sorrow and shame,
Now I belong to Him;

Joy floods my soul for Jesus has saved me,
Freed me from sin that long had enslaved me
His precious blood, He came to redeem,
Now I belong to Him;
