My grandmother Jerene was a very gifted musician Unfortunately, I didn't know this until after she and my grandpa had passed away. I found among her things many papers containing poems that I guessed were lyrics. I was very moved by one, and have adapted the words from her poem to my song.
If Christ Should Come Tomorrow
© 2008 Chelleblynn
As the days go by I remember
The stories I was told
Of a Savior who bled from every pore
So I might be made whole.
If Christ should come tomorrow
Would He return to sorrow?
I ask myself these questions
Each time I kneel to pray.
If Christ should come tomorrow
What would He do?
If Christ should come tomorrow
What would He say?
I ask myself these questions
Each time I kneel to pray.
If Christ should come tomorrow,
And seeing me
What would He say?
In every town there are people
Who pass by a church each day
Soon they loose sight of the steeple
And the One who guides the way
It's strange how the world keeps forgetting
God wants all men to obey.
Now they have made of the Sabbath
Just another ordinary day.
If Christ should come tomorrow
What would He do?
If Christ should come tomorrow
What would He say?
I ask myself these questions
Each time I kneel to pray.
If Christ should come tomorrow, and seeing me
What would He say?
Although the path ahead is straight
I struggle underneath the weight
Of natural man's complacency
For on my own I cannot be.
If Christ could come tomorrow
What would We do?
If Christ could come tomorrow
What would We say?
If Christ could come tomorrow
Would we make room for Him today
If Christ should come tomorrow, and seeing me
What would He say.
The world is still forgetting
That He'll appear to all
One day.
Why I am doing this:

- Anyone who really knows me would know that I could not live without music. Music can change my mood like nothing else! I have been writing my own songs since I was a little girl, and have decided that I don't want to keep them to myself anymore! One of the reasons I started writing lyrics is this: when I'm in a bad mood, or when I'm really sad I usually find some music that I like, and try to zone the world out. So many times I've been listening to something, and I've felt such powerful emotions! Love, gratitude, confidence, hope, the list can go on and on! I would love to know that someone else had a similar experience because of something I wrote. That is my goal! My biggest fear is that people won't like what I've written. I am terrified of rejection, but I read a quote once that said "Don't let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do." I've thought a lot about that, and I've decided that I cannot guarantee that everyone will love my songs, but I can compose. I can write. I can sing. I can play. And I can hear awesome harmonies! So, I'm not going to let what I can't do interfere with what I can do anymore! That is why I am here
This is actually the lyrics from a song written by A.W.Mickey Hart and was recorded by Jesse Evans Smith. Just thought you might like to know.
