Passing through, passing through...

For any of you who know me very well at all you will know that I love Colin Buchanan and just how much I do.  For those of you who don't know who he is (poor, deprived childhoods you must have had!!) he is a Christian Australian kids song writer and he does a lot of songs where he puts bible verses to music.  Although I should have long since outgrown Colin I definitely have not!  Thanks to him and his songs I know so many pieces of scripture by heart and it is such an encouragement to randomly get a song in your head which is actually a bible verse/passage.

One of his songs (regrettably I cannot find it on YouTube anywhere...) is called Passing through.


This world will try and squeeze you,
And tease you with tasty lies,
This world will try to trick you,
And kick you between the eyes.


All God's children will never walk alone,
All God's children will soon be heading Home.


Passing through, passing through,
On the way to Heaven,
Passing through, passing through,
On the way to Heaven.


Don't let this old world get its grip on you,
God's children are only passing through!


This world is slowly dieing,
but trying to take you down,
This world is on a devil line,
And its time is running out.


All God's children will never walk alone,
All God's children will soon be heading Home.


Passing through, passing through,
On the way to Heaven,
Passing through, passing through,
On the way to Heaven.


Don't let this old world get its grip on you,
God's children are only passing, oh they're only passing through!


Fix your eyes Jesus,
He frees us, from death and sin!
When this world is long gone,
We'll live on, to worship Him,


All God's children will never walk alone,
All God's children will soon be heading Home.


Passing through, passing through,
On the way to Heaven,
Passing through, passing through,
On the way to Heaven.


Don't let this old world get its grip on you,
God's children are only passing, yeah, yeah they're only, only passing through!




I love this song and think that it is such a helpful view to have on life.  The reminder that this life isn't everything - it is only temporary and we are only passing through, that as children of God we are continually getting nearer and nearer Heaven - we are on our way there, on our way Home!
