We cannot begin to comprehend what it will be like when Jesus Calls us home. In, 'I Am Looking For Jesus' Coming', I tried to relay my feelings in simple terms, as I consider that 'day'. I wrote this song in 1987, and it was included on '30th Anniversay of I Want Us To Be Together In Heaven' CD, compiled in 2003, released by SonSound. How do you explain the events to come? First, the 'calling away' of Believers into heaven...then, after the tribulation on earth, the 'physical' return of Jesus, together with us...all on white horses...for the 'Millennial Reign of Christ'. We don't know the hour He is coming...but, scripture teaches, 'even a common man can see the red sky and know there's a storm coming'. The world looks pretty 'stormy' to me! I was asked by a 'teen'... "It's not fair that my friend says she's 'Born Again', is not living 'right', and is going to heaven." My response... "God is Just! If she is truly 'Born Again', yes she will go to heaven...but...we will be rewarded by our 'Faithfulness to God on Earth', by our 'appointed position' during the Millennial Reign of Christ when He comes back to Earth...and I wouldn't want to spend 1,000 years SHOVELING HORSE POOP, would you?" Well, would you?
Understanding the absolute necessity of 'Jesus' Sacrifice on the Cross', I wrote, 'Red' in 1974. Blood sacrifice was required in ancient times for having sins forgiven. The act had to be done each year. When Jesus was crucified, His Blood had the 'redemption power' to cleanse ALL sins...for all who repent, and Believe ON Him... '[they] will not perish, but have everlasting life' [John 3:16]. In many cultures, the color 'red' has an important meaning. I teach Feng Shui. Red is the color of 'good luck' in the ancient Chinese Dynasties. How God has 'laid the paths' of the coming of His Son, Jesus, as our 'Savior of the World'. Because of Jesus' Blood, anyone, anywhere, of any culture, background, and tradition, can simply sincerely pray when they feel the convicting 'Power of God', and be forgiven and go to heaven. None of us have to find a 'spotless lamb' and sacrifice it once a year. How can we not celebrate the sufferings of Jesus Christ for us...sufferings that resulted in His Resurrection and the Resurrection for all Believers. His Blood... 'a beautiful, dark, crimson, red'...is what I want others to focus on when I die...because...because He Died for me, I will live again.
When writing 'It's Guaranteed', I tried to point out how even the best of this world is only temporary...wealth can be extinguished by stock-market-crash; warm weather and beautiful blossoms end with winter; and good health ends with eventual death. But all of these things are eternal for Believers...because... 'Jesus bought them for us' ... with His Death on the cross. There's no night, no curse on the earth or man...no more pain or sorrow... "...for the former things have passed away..." and another scripture ... "...those who live and believe ON Me [Jesus said] shall 'never' die ..." Believers face only the 'sting' of death...but live eternally... 'It's Guaranteed'!
In 1972 I wrote 'I Want Us To Be Together In Heaven'. It has been recorded by many groups throughout the years...here is the original that I recorded in the early 80's, and compiled on my album, '30th Anniversary...I Want Us To Be Together In Heaven', in 2003. Please share...God Bless!

I wrote “Into the Clouds” on a Sunday afternoon after leaving church. The promise of heaven is one that I believe in, but my heart struggles with the thought of one day passing from this earth and having to leave my family. I hope you enjoy the song, and I hope you consider all of the love and acceptance Christ has offered each of us. Scott Coner
