“Fll Be There”
(1970 Hit Album)
By: Evangelist
Mary L. Beckett
Dedicated to the memory of the
late
Michael Jackson
August 29,1958-June 25, 2009
Revised from St. John 3:16- “For
God so loved the world that he gave
his only begotten Son, that whoso
ever believeth in him should not
perish, but have everlasting life.”
You and I must make a pact, we
must bring salvation back, in Jesus name, for where the Love of Jesus
Christ is, I’ll be there.
Where the Spirit of the Lord is there is Liberty, He has come to set us
free, bled and died on the Cross of Calvary, to save a sinner like you and
me.
He gave us life eternally, where Jesus’ love is, I’ll be there. You and I
must make a pact! We must bring salvation back, giving out God’s
gospel holy tracks all over the world in Jesus name so we can bring sal
vation back into this world.
And I’ll be there to say a prayer to let you know Jesus cares for your
souls! And He’ll be there to make you whole. This is how we’ll bring
salvation back, let us repent, give our hearts back to Jesus, and let the
Lord Jesus put us back on the right track, in Jesus name.
And I’ll be there; let us all look to the hills from whence cometh our help,
all of our help comes from the Lord Jesus Christ. Where Jesus’ love is,
I’ll be there, you can look for me in the crowd. I’ll be the one praising
the Lord.
Because I am saved and I am proud, in Jesus name; I’ll be there. Just call
Jesus’ name, He’ll be there to give you your salvation’s due in Jesus’
name I’ll be there praising God with you too, in Jesus Name, and I’ll be
there and Jesus too!!
