The Best Part
Words and music by Margo Westmoreland Blehm
August 1999
In Heaven my house will be by the forest overlooking the sea With ferns and redwood trees on either side of my door But til then I’m growing in Jesus…that’s worth more than houses or lands And the very best part of Heaven will be Him.
I’ll have a mansion in that City, I know that’s where you’ll find me After flying through the galaxies and exploring the stars But for now I’ll learn to serve Jesus, and spread the word of His awesome love And let them know the best part of Heaven will be Him.
And right now I may be poor and living in the desert It really doesn’t matter, for I’m rich in Jesus And yes, sometimes life is hard, He never promised something easy But in the end Heaven is cheap enough, for at last I’ll see Him.
And I can hardly wait for that day when He finally comes and takes us away And we’ll reach that beautiful place we’ve waited so long to see And we’ll cast our crowns at His feet, for we wouldn’t be there but for Him Yes, the very best part of Heaven will be Jesus Yes, the very best part of Heaven will be Jesus.

Some trust in chariots, and some (trust) in horses;

LORD, I pray, open my eyes that I may see…

For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal But mighty in God for pulling down strongholds….and every high thing (2 Corin. 10:4-5)
-Chorus 2:
Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit…(Zechariah 4:6) It is God Who arms me with strength (Ps 18:32) And makes my way perfect; I can do all things

If it were not so, I would have told you.

I will come again, I will come again.

The Promise
1
Scoffers will come in the last days, walking
According to their own lusts
Saying where is the promise of His coming?
For since the fathers fell asleep
All things continue
(Just) as they were from the beginning…
Second Peter 3verse 3&4.
Chorus 1:
But beloved do not forget this one thing
That with the Lord one day is as a thousand years
The Lord is not slack concerning His promise
As some count slackness, but is long suffering toward us.
Yes, beloved do not forget this one thing
That with the Lord…a thousand years is as one day…
He’s long suffering toward us, not willing that any should perish,
But that all should come to repentance, verses 8 & 9.
2
The sun shall will be turned into darkness
And the moon into blood
Before the coming of the great and awesome day of The Lord.
And it shall come to pass that whoever
Calls upon the name of The Lord
Shall be saved, Joel 2 verse 31 (&32)
Chorus 2:
But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night
In which the heavens will pass away with a great noise
And the elements will melt with fervent heat
Both the earth and works…in it will be burned up.
Therefore since all these things will be dissolved
What manor of persons ought you to be
In holy conduct and godliness
Looking for and hastening the coming of God?

Behold He’s coming with clouds
And every eye will see Him, even they who pierced Him
And all the tribes of earth will mourn because of Him

And they will gather together His elect from the four winds
From one end of heaven to the other, Matthew 24 verse 30 & 31.

As a Cloud
1
Whatever your hand finds to do
Do it with your might
For there’s no work or device, or knowledge or wisdom
(Down) in the grave where you are going.
For the living know that they will die
But the dead know nothing, and they’ve no more reward
For the memory of them is forgotton
Also their love, hatred and envy have perished.
Nevermore will they have a share
In anything done under the sun.

(Yet) the serpent said to the woman, ‘You shall not surely die’

As the cloud disappears and vanishes away
So he who goes down to the grave
Does not come up; he shall never return
To his house, nor shall his place know him anymore.

Nevermore will they have a share
In anything done under the sun.

Immortality
He Who is the blessed and only Potentate

(repeat)
Who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light
Whom no man has seen or can see
To Whom be honor and everlasting power.
First Timothy 6:15&16
Most assuredly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is
When the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God;
And those who hear will live, for as the Father has life in Him…
So He has granted the Son to have life in Him…
He Who is the blessed….
Do not marvel at this for the hour is coming
In which all…in the graves will hear His voice and come forth
Those who have done good to the resurrection of life
And those who have done evil to the resurrection of condemnation.
John 5:25-29 (except v.27)
Most assuredly I say to you…
He Who is the blessed….
Eternal Mercy

For God so loved the world That he gave his only begotten Son

sinners shall be together
They that forsake the LORD shall be consumed.
Is 1:28

In the death of the wicked

With His Feathers
Ps 91
1
He that dwelleth in the secret place
Of the Most High shall abide
Under the shadow of the Almighty
I will say of The Lord…
He is my refuge and my fortress
My God, in Him I will trust
Surely He will deliver thee
From the snare of the fowler and…the pestilence.
Chorus 1:
He shall cover thee
With His feathers and under His wings
You shall take refuge;
His truth shall be your shield and your buckler.
2
You shall not be afraid
For the arrow that flies by day
Nor for the terror
By night.
Nor for the pestilence
That walketh in darkness
Nor for the destruction
That lays waste at noonday.
Chorus 2:
A thousand shall fall at your side
And ten thousand at your right hand
But it shall not come near you
You shall look and behold the reward of the wicked.
Bridge:
Because you have made The Lord Who is my refuge
Even the Most High, your dwelling place
No evil shall befall you
Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling…
He shall give His angels charge over you
To keep you in all your ways
They shall bear you up in their hands
Lest you dash your foot against a stone.
Chorus 3:
Because he has set his love on Me
Therefore Will I deliver him
I will set him on high
Because he has known My name
He shall call upon Me
And I’ll answer him and be with him in trouble
I’ll deliver him and honor him
With long life I’ll satisfy him, and show him my salvation.
The Last Trumpet
1
Behold, I tell you a mystery
We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed
In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye
At the last trumpet, at the last trumpet.
Chorus 1:
For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised
Incorruptible, and we shall be changed
For this corruptible must put on incorruption
And this mortal put on immortality
Death is swallowed up in victory.
O, Death, where is your sting?
O, Hades, where is you victory?
1 Corinthians 15:51
2
For this we say unto you
By the word of The Lord, that we who are alive
And reman until the coming of The Lord
Will by no means precede those who are asleep.
Chorus 2:
For The Lord Himself will descend from Heaven
With a shout, with the voice of an archangel
And with the trumpet of God, yes the trumpet of God
And the dead in Christ will rise first.
Yes the dead in Christ will rise first.
1 Thessalonians 4:15-18
O, Death, where is your sting?
O, Hades, where is your victory?
Bridge:
To those who eagerly await for Him, He will appear a second time…
Looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ….
Hebrews 9:28 and Titus 2:13
3
Then we who are alive and remain
Shall be caught up together with them in the clouds
To meet The Lord in the air
And thus we shall always be with The Lord
Therefore comfort one another with these words.
-Chorus 2-
Passing Through
Words and music by Margo Westmoreland Blehm
1
It’s treasure that I’m searching for
And everyday I find some more
And it’s telling me that we are near the end
This treasure is those words of life
They drip with honey, shine as light
And they’re telling me my home’s around the bend
Chorus 1:
So press on forward, move ahead
Raise your eyes and lift your head
Things are happening, it won’t be long it’s true
Watch for the signs along the way
We’re getting closer every day
This world is not our home, were only passing through
2
It’s heaven that I’m waiting for
And everyday I miss it more
I’m longing for my home up in the sky
And I’m hoping that you’ll come along
And join me as we sing that song
Get ready, it will soon be time to fly!
-Chorus 1-
Chorus 2:
Reach for your neighbor, grab a hand
Press together, take a stand
Things are happening, it won’t be long, I know
Watch for the the signs along the way
We’re getting closer everyday
We’re just passing through
This world is not our home
Yes, We’re just passing through
This world is not our home
It Is Done
1
And I heard a great voice from heaven saying
Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men
And He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people
And God Himself shall be with them, and be their God.
And…wipe away all tears from their eyes
There shall be no more death neither sorrow, nor crying
Neither….any more pain
For the former things are passed away. (Rev 21:3-4)
Chorus:
And it shall be said in that day
Lo, this is our God; we have waited for Him, and He will save us
This is the LORD; we have waited for Him
We will be glad and rejoice in His salvation. (Isaiah 25:9)
2
He that sat on the throne said…I make all things new…
Write, for these words are faithful and true (Rev 21:5)
And I saw a new heaven and…earth… and there was no more sea. (Verse 1)
He will swallow up death in victory
And the Lord God will wipe away all tears from (their eyes)…
The rebuke of His people shall He take away
From off all the earth
For the LORD hath spoken it. (Isaiah 25:8)
-Chorus-
Bridge:
And He said unto me, It is done
I’m the Alpha…Omega…beginning and the end
I will give unto him that is thirsty
Of the fountain of the water of life freely (Rev 21:6)
Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and He will save us
This is the LORD; we have waited for Him
Lo, this is our God; we have waited for Him, and he will save us
This is the LORD; we have waited for Him
Lo, this is our God; we have waited for Him, and he will save us
This is the LORD; we have waited for Him
We will be glad and rejoice
Yes we will be glad and rejoice in His salvation.
