Poem by Jan Johannes Kwist

Precious Savior, love divine.
Fill this humble heart of mine,
With thy spirit ever new
Make me Lord, thy will to do.
That I may closer walk each day
Along this life's rugged way,
By thy love be closer drawn,
And leave some deed when I am gone

Poem by Jan Johannes Kwist written for his daughter Marylin

In this world I'm tired of Living
For I seek a world more fair
And for my heart is full of Longing
For that City Built Four Square...
There to be with him forever
In that Land of Liberty.
And my soul watching Praying
For his blessed face to see.
Blessed hope within me dwelling
Until that Great eventful Day
When the saints all true and Faithful
Will be swiftly caught away...
Won't you come and be made ready.
Be baptized in Jesus Name
And receive his Holy Spirit
Bless his precious Holy Name...
Jesus seeks the honest hearted
Souls of man his Love does melt
He'll mold and shape you for his Glory
Have you not his presence felt?
Brother you have heard the Message
Of Salvation full and free
How that Jesus Gave his life Blood
Died for you on Calvary
He that is Born once dies twice...
He that is born twice dies once...
