Reach One More for Jesus

Introduction by Rick Warren

Worship is all about expressing love for God. Music and love go together. They come from the heart. It’s not just what you think but what you feel. Everything is about love.
Rick Warren honours his dad who died of cancer. His dad said to him on his death bed “Save one more for Jesus”
Alva Copland wrote and sang the song “Reach One More” – it’s so beautiful………….
"As I looked in my father’s eyes
Sat by his bedside and held his hand
As I said my last goodbyes
He held on for as long as he can
And I heard him say

Reach one more for Jesus
Before I close my eyes
I must reach one more for Jesus
I won’t let another day go by
That’s what I’m living for
To reach one more
One more for Jesus

As I sat by my father’s side
I laid down my head upon his bed
As he felt the tears I cried
He placed his hand upon my head
And I heard him say

Reach one more for Jesus
Before you close your eyes
Reach one more for Jesus
Don’t let another day go by
That’s what you’re living for
To reach one more
One more for Jesus

Before he closed his eyes
For the final time
And left this earth
For home he said
Reach one more for Jesus
Before I close my eyes
Reach one more for Jesus
Don’t let another day go by
That’s what we’re living for
To reach one more
One more for Jesus (x2)"
