    Life Story for Helen W. Sobchak (Grabowa)

    "Jesus Bound" Patsy Clairmont wrote ‘to be Jesus-bound will be heavenly.’

    The thought inspired this poem.

    I’m Jesus-bound, I’m Jesus-bound, What a heavenly thought, I’m Jesus-bound.
    He died for me, He died for me, What a heavenly thought
    Salvation’s free. I’m waiting to be released from earth
    Wanting to be with Jesus since my birth. I know He is waiting with open arms.
    I don’t have to see the nail prints on His palms. To believe He suffered for my sins.
    He sees my struggles through thick and thin, Life is fleeting all around,
    It doesn’t matter, I’m Jesus-bound.
