Some days stand out in my memory of college classes. One day my professor, C.J. Humphrey, stood in front of the huge blackboard which stretched the width of the room, with chalk in hand, drew a line from one end of the board to the other. He turned to the class and said, “That’s the way you and I see time.”
Then he picked up a pencil, and held it forth by thumb and fingers for all to see it from end to end without moving our heads left to right and said, “This is the way God sees time.”
We think in terms of “yesterday” and “tomorrow,” but the Lord sees all things as “now.” Hard to accept, you say? That’s because you and I think in terms of matter, space and time, but God is not limited by such thoughts. He is free to enter our continuum at any point of space or time and when He does, He is always “right on time.”
RIGHT ON TIME (John 11)
The McKameys
1997
They sent for Jesus, your friend’s about to die
But tarried He still on behind
So they laid Lazarus in a tomb
And said their last goodbye
But coming down The road was Jesus
Right on time
Just hold on my child because He’s not too far away
And He knows your need before you pray
So when your feet are weary
From the mountain You have climbed
Look ahead here comes Jesus
Right on time.
I’ve struggled through life’s deserts
They were so hot and dry.
Till it seemed all hope Was gone and I would die.
And I wondered where Was He,
Is He still a friend of mine
Then coming Down the road was Jesus
Right on time.
Just hold On my child
Because He’s not too far away
And He Knows your need before you pray.
So when your feet are weary
From the mountain you have climbed
Look ahead here comes Jesus
Right on time.
So when Your feet are weary
from the mountain you have Climbed
look ahead here comes Jesus right on time
(Repeats)
“I’ve struggled..” … “Just hold on..: … “So when..”
“I’ve struggled..” … “Just hold on..: … “So when..”
