Jesus In My Mind!

"But we have the mind of Christ." 1 Corinthians 2:16   

  "If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God." Colossians 3:1-3

I really enjoy James Taylor's song: Carolina In My Mind. 

I'm from North Carolina, and I always love going back to visit. But more than North Carolina, I want to go home to be with Jesus. I want to be with Jesus, and I want Jesus to be on my mind and controlling my mind and whole life more than anything or anyone else. So I wrote some new words for James Taylor's song:

Jesus In My Mind

In my mind, I'm gone to be with Jesus!

Can't you see His face shine?

Can't you just feel His love shine?

And ain’t He just like the friend of mine with perfect traits combined?

And, I'm gone to be with Jesus in my mind!

Jesus, He's the risen Son

You best trust His way and watch Him shine

Watch Him make all good things come

The God-Man soon appearing now, well He died and rose, come now

I'm gone to be with Jesus in my mind!

There ain't no doubt in no one's mind

That Christ’s the finest One around

Whispers true Words sweet and kind

And hey, child, He comes with fire, get ready, ain’t I?

I'm gone to be with Jesus in my mind!

In my mind, I'm gone to be with Jesus!

Can't you see His face shine?

Can't you just feel His love shine?

And ain’t He just like the friend of mine where every joy I find?

Till, I'm gone to be with Jesus in my mind!

Dark and silent late last night

I know I read and heard the God-Man callin’

I’m your joy filled with light

His grace and love and mercy say I’m going, I’m going

Gone to be with Jesus in my mind!

It’s a holy host of others standin’ around me

Still I’m on the far side from my LORD

And it looks like my heart goes out to Him forever

Oh LORD please help me

For I’m up and gone to be with Jesus in my mind!

In my mind, I'm gone to be with Jesus!

Can't you see His face shine?

Can't you just feel His love shine?

And ain’t He just like the friend of mine where beauty is defined?

And, I'm gone to be with Jesus in my mind!

So I’m gone to be with Jesus in my mind!

Yes, I’m already gone! Forever I’m gone!

Say true things about Him, I’m gone!

You’ll have to carry on without me, I’m gone!

I’ll be gone to be with Jesus in my mind!

Yes, I’m gone to be with Jesus in my mind!

"For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain . . . My desire is to depart and be with Christ, for that is far better." Philippians 1:21, 23

". . . so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for Him." Hebrews 9:28

"He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning nor crying nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away." Revelation 21:4

"'Surely I am coming soon.' Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!" 

Revelation 22:20

To know how to make it to heaven to be with Jesus - which is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, according to the Bible alone, all for the glory of God alone - please watch "American Gospel: Christ Alone."

And meet me in heaven with Jesus!
