In the Book of Revelation Chapter 21 we read ” And I saw a new he:aven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.” Hallelujah! And this song by the Hoppers make this verse come alive! Be blessed with this song “Jerusalem” by the Hoppers.

Jerusalem Lyrics

Song by The Hoppers

John saw the city, that could not be hid
John saw this city, oh yes he did
John caught a glimpse of the golden throne
Tell me all about it, go right on

Around the throne he saw a crystal sea
There’s got to be more, what will it be
I want to go, to that city he saw
New Jerusalem

Jerusalem
I want to walk, your streets that are golden
And I want to run, where the angels have trod
Jerusalem
I want to rest, on the banks of your river
In that city, the city of God

John saw the lion, lay down by the lamb
I wanna know everything about that land
John saw the day but he did not see night
The lamb of God, well, he must be the light

And he saw the saints worship the great I Am
Crying worthy, worthy is the lamb
I want to go to that city he saw
New Jerusalem

Jerusalem I want to walk your streets that are golden
And I want to run where the angels have trod
Jerusalem I want to rest on the banks of your river
In that city, the city of God

Jerusalem, Jerusalem
Sing for the night is o’er
Hosanna in the highest
Hosanna forever
Forever more

Jerusalem
I want to walk, your streets that are golden
And I want to run, where the angels have trod
Jerusalem

I want to rest, on the banks of your river
In that city, the city of God
City of God
Jerusalem
Jerusalem
City of God
It’s the city of God

When the Roll Is Called Up Yonder Lyrics

Johnny Cash

When the trumpet of the Lord shall sound and time shall be no more
And the morning breaks eternal bright and fair
When the saved diverse shall gather over on the other shore
And the roll is called up yonder, I’ll be there

When the roll is called up yonder
When the roll is called up yonder
When the roll is called up yonder
When the roll is called up yonder, I’ll be there

Let us lay before the Master from dawn ’til setting sun
Let us talk of all his wondrous love and care
Then when all of life is over and our work on Earth is done
And the roll is called up yonder, I’ll be there

When the roll is called up yonder
When the roll is called up yonder
When the roll is called up yonder
When the roll is called up yonder, I’ll be there

Jim Reeves’ Awesome Gospel Hymn: “Have Thine Own Way Lord”

By

On August 1, 2025

In Featured, Gospel Music

Jim Reeves, a name synonymous with heartfelt melodies and soul-stirring lyrics, has left an indelible mark on the world of gospel music. Among his many contributions, the hymn “Have Thine Own Way, Lord” stands out not only for its beautiful composition but also for its profound spiritual message. This hymn encapsulates themes of surrender, guidance, and divine sovereignty—elements that resonate deeply with believers seeking solace and direction in their faith journey.

Written by Adelaide A. Pollard in the early 20th century, “Have Thine Own Way, Lord” emphasizes the importance of yielding oneself to God’s will. The hymn’s central plea reflects a desire for God to take control of one’s life, allowing His purpose to unfold. Jim Reeves’ rendition beautifully captures this sentiment with his rich baritone voice and emotive delivery. The combination of Pollard’s poignant lyrics and Reeves’ musical interpretation creates a powerful worship experience that invites listeners into a place of reflection and surrender.

About Jim Reeves

Jim Reeves, often hailed as one of the most influential figures in country music, left an indelible mark on the genre with his smooth baritone voice and heartfelt lyrics. Born on August 20, 1923, in Galloway, Texas, Reeves’s journey from a small-town boy to a celebrated musical icon is a testament to his talent and enduring appeal. In this blog post, we will explore the life and career of Jim Reeves, highlighting his contributions to country music and his lasting legacy. In the late 1940s, Jim Reeves began recording for independent labels. However, it was not until he signed with RCA Victor in 1955 that his career truly took off. His unique blend of traditional country and pop elements resonated with audiences, allowing him to bridge the gap between genres.

The late 1950s marked the pinnacle of Jim Reeves’s career. With hits like “Four Walls,” “He’ll Have to Go,” and “Welcome to My World,” he captivated listeners across the globe. His ability to convey deep emotions through song made him a favorite among fans and critics alike. Notably, “He’ll Have to Go” became one of his signature songs, showcasing his smooth vocal style and storytelling prowess. Tragically, Jim Reeves’s life was cut short when he died in a plane crash on July 31, 1964. His untimely passing shocked fans worldwide and left a void in the music industry that remains palpable even today. In recognition of his contributions to country music, Reeves has been posthumously inducted into several halls of fame, including the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1967.

Have Thine Own Way Lord

Song by Jim Reeves

Have Thine own way Lord
Have Thine own way
Thou art the potter I am the clay
Mold me and make me after Thy will
While I am waiting yielded and still

Have Thine own way Lord
Have Thine own way
Search me and try me Master today
Whiter than snow Lord wash me just now
As in Thy presence humbly I bow

Have Thine own way Lord
Have Thine own way
Hold over my being absolute sway
Filled with Thy spirit till all can see
Christ only always living in me

Peace In The Valley Lyrics

Gaither Vocal Band

Oh well, I’m tired and so weary
But I must go alone
Till the Lord comes and calls me away, oh yes.
Well the morning’s so bright
And the lamb is the light
And the night, night is as black as the sea, oh yes.

There will be peace in the valley for me, some day.
There will be peace in the valley for me, oh Lord I pray.
There’ll be no sadness, no sorrow, No trouble I see
There will be peace in the valley for me, oh yes.

Well the bear will be gentle,
And the wolves will be tame.
And the lion shall lay down by the lamb, oh yes.
And the beasts from the wild
Shall be lit by a child
And I’ll be changed, changed from this creature that I am, oh yes.

There will be peace in the valley for me, some day.
There will be peace in the. valley for me, oh Lord I pray.
There’ll be no sadness, no sorrow, No trouble I see
There will be peace in the valley for me, oh yes.

There’ll be no sadness, no sorrow, No trouble I see
There will be peace in the valley for me.
For me.
