 During the dream Denny was announcing from the pulpit
that it was time for songs and testimonies. There was
silence, and then a young boy, dressed as well, in cowboy
gear, said that he had a song.
I’M GONNA HAVE A BARBECUE FOR JESUS
I peaked over his shoulder at the paper in his hand. I
I’M GONNA HAVE A BARBECUE FOR JESUS. thought to myself, what a geeky title!” However, when I

During June of 1999 I asked the Lord when he was going to

give me another song in a dream. I asked him to make the
style different than usual. I also asked Him to make it a
song that would be well liked. I have never been fond of
country music, but not long after that prayer, I had a dream
that contained this song.

In the dream I was visiting Denny Huse’s church in the

bloomer bank basement. Denny wears cowboy clothes,
even while preaching, and owns solid rock ranch in
Bloomer Wisconsin.
YOUR LOVING FATHER But don’t forget
WANTS A CHAT WITH YOU I chasten those I love.
So before I come
GATHER ROUND ABOUT ME LITTLE CHILDREN To punish all the pagans
Your loving Father I’m going to deal with
Wants a chat with you. My little children first.
First, let me tell you
That I really love you. Repeat last stanza slowly.
That’s why I sent My son
To die for you. This song came unexpectedly in May of 1993
within days after receiving New Gethsemane. If
Listen closely all my little children
Jesus will be coming back real soon.
I remember correctly, I saw several vivid images

After the service, while pondering the images,

words and a tune came. I hurriedly wrote down
I have many.
And I’ve heard too many prayers the words and sang the song onto a recorder
That go like this: before I would forget the tune.
“COME RIGHT NOW LORD JESUS,
I AM READY.
Unlike my worldly brethren
I’m going up to meet You
In the clouds!”

Why do some children

Never miss one Sunday
But worship worldly pleasures
Golden Calf?

Why do some children

Hate My chosen shepherds
And call in smooth talking,
Greedy hirelings?

You say,
“LORD, WHEN DID YOU SEE ME
AT A HIGH PLACE,
Dancing round about
Ashera’s pole?”

If something means much more

To you than I do,
It’s an evil idol
In My eyes.

Let Me reassure you

That I love you.
Come Messiah Now To Reign
Come Lord Jesus
Oh Messiah Come Messiah
Come Messiah Come as the Lord of Lords
Come Messiah now to reign
Come Lord Jesus
Come Lord Jesus Come Messiah
Come Lord Jesus Come as the King of Kings
Come Lord Jesus now to reign
Come Lord Jesus
Pra-a-a-aise Come Messiah
Pra-a-a-aise Come for Your Kingdom Lord
Jesus our wonderful Lord (repeat the last stanza
a second time, slower.)
You’re our Counselor
You’re our Mighty God 6/28/91 revised 6/19/07
You’re our Prince of Peace
COME MESSIAH NOW TO REIGN is much the same as
Oh Messiah the original song, except I personalized a few
Come Messiah stanzas. For example, He’s our Counselor was
Come Messiah now to reign changed to You’re our Counselor. I also added a
counter refrain Come Lord Jesus, Come Lord
Come Lord Jesus Jesus, Come Lord Jesus now to reign.
Come Lord Jesus
Come Lord Jesus now to reign The reason I brought the song back into SONGS IN
THE NIGHT FROM JESUS is that I was at a home
Pra-a-a-aise meeting in the Jordahl House in E.C. and Peter Van
Pra-a-a-aise Dyke shared on Jewish chants, so I searched for a
Jesus our wonderful Lord copy, made a few minor changes and presented it.
Even though it had not been well received back in
You’re our Redeemer 91, it seems to have been more acceptable the
You’re our Provider second time around.
You’re our Eternal Companion

Oh Messiah
Come Messiah
Come Messiah now to reign

Come Lord Jesus

Come Lord Jesus
Come Lord Jesus now to reign

Come reign forever Lord

Come reign forever Lord
You will never be dethroned

Come Lord Jesus

Come Messiah
Come as Your Father’s First Born Son
GOD’S WAYS ARE HIGHER HIS BODY’S SHOCK
THAN OUR WAYS HIS HAND’S AND HIS FEET
WERE NAILED TO THE CROSS.
GOD’S WAYS ARE HIGHER THAN OUR WAYS. NOW HE SHEPHERDS OUR WALK
HIS WISDOM MUCH DEEPER AND GUIDES OUR MINISTRIES.

THAN WE’LL EVER KNOW.

WHATEVER HE DOES HE NEVER FAILS.
WHATEVER HE DOES
IS DONE WITH MATCHLESS SKILL.
OUR LIVES ARE A COMPLICATED TAPESTRY.
EVERY DAY OF EVERY AGE WAS A SEEMLESS
FINELY ORCHESTRATED PLAN.
EVERY KINGDOM GOOD OR BAD
HE FORMED AND PLACED
WITH HIS OWN HAND.
IN FULFILLMENT OF ANCIENT PROPHECY,
THEY PIERCED HIS SIDE BUT SPARED HIS BONES.
WATER AND BLOOD GUSHED ONTO THE GROUND.
HE REDEEMED OUR LOST DOMINION
AND NEGATED THE CURSE ON THE EARTH.
THREE DAYS LATER HE ROSE AGAIN
ETERNALLY CONQUERING DEATH AND SIN.
HE PAID OUR BRIDE PRICE
WITH HIS SACRIFICE
AND SEALED US TO ABIDE
FOREVER AND EVER WITH HIM.

WITH GOD NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE.

REPEAT REFRAIN
GOD’S WAYS ARE HIGHER THAN OUR WAYS,
HIS WISDOM MUCH DEEPER
THAN WE’LL EVER KNOW. FROM A DREAM 01/31/92

END REFRAIN
WHEN JUDAS BETRAYED OUR LORD AND KING
THIS WAS NO EXCEPTION TO THE RULE.
BEFORE CALVARY’S TIMBERS WERE EVER HEWN,
BEFORE THE TREE’S SEED BEGAN TO GROW,
BEFORE COMPREHENSIBLE ANTIQUITY,
GOD PREPARED HIS SON TO BLEED AND DIE.
Even though I dreamed this song in January, I think
of this as my Easter Song. Graphic as it is, it has a
better Easter message than the politically correct
one about fuzzy white fertility bunnies laying
multi-colored Ishtar eggs.

BEATEN WITH RODS AND BATTERED BY HANDS

JESUS WAS BRUISED FOR OUR INIQUITIES.
SOLDIERS SPAT AND MOCKED
AND PLUCKED HIS BEARD.
HE PAID FOR OUR BONDAGES AND SHAME.
HE BOUGHT OUR GRIEF TO GIVE US JOY & PEACE.

SOLDIERS FORCED A THORNY CROWN ON HIS HEAD,

SWEAT AND BLOOD RAN INTO HIS EYES.
WE’VE BEEN GIVEN ALL AUTHORITY
OVER DARK KINGDOM PRINCIPALITIES.

HE TOOK THIRTY-NINE LASHES

WITH A CAT-O-NINE.
THERE’S NO DISEASE HE CANNOT CURE.
THERE’S NO DYSFUNCTION HE CANNOT HEAL.
EVEN THE DEAD ARE RAISED TO LIVE AGAIN.

CHRIST CARRIED HIS CROSS UNTIL HE FELL.

ROUGH WOOD FRICTION BURNED
HIS BATTERED FLESH;
SLIVERS SPLINTERED HIS RIPPED, FLAYED SKIN.
NOW HE CARRIES OUR STRESSES
AND OUR TRYING TIMES
KNOWING JUST HOW MUCH WE CAN ENDURE.

WITH PAIN THAT TRANSCENDED


Heavenly Songs
Heavenly Song 1
“We will serve our Lord Jesus Christ
Until He calls us home.
We are merely sojourners here.
Heaven is really our home.
We will serve our Lord Jesus Christ
By our blood and our love,
And our testimony.
Yes, we will serve our Lord Jesus Christ
Until He calls us home.
Heavenly Song 2
We were gathered in a livin’ room,
several Christians
with our hands in the air;
We were praisin’ Jesus our Lord
Suddenly the earth grew strangely dim
Just like in that old, old hymn
I was no longer there in my chair.
I was standin’ in a heavenly place,
Light so bright I couldn’t see a thing
Then I heard this
Otherworldly melody
Like mighty rushing waters
and peals of distant thunder.
Notes I cannot duplicate.
And it was strangest thing,
not only could I hear the notes,
I could touch and taste
and feel ‘em, too.
And I really couldn’t find a beat,
that music kinda ebbed and flowed.
I don’t care if it sounds cliché’
those vocals were outta this world.
Didn’t understand a word
but I knew Who they were praisin’,
they were praisin’ Jesus,
Jesus my Lord.
That was when His peaceful presence
began to overwhelm me more
than the otherworldly melody
that I can never duplicate.
I was just about to open my mouth
and sing to Him with all of my heart,
when I felt this fire burnin’
deep inside of me.
That’s when I heard
Jesus speak these words,
“I know you’d like to stay here
but I have work for you to do.
When it’s time I shall surely
call you Home
Suddenly the heavens
grew strangely dim -
just the reverse of that old, old hymn.
Then I was no longer there.
I was back in my chair.
I ached to be with Jesus
and hear that heavenly melody.
But I also felt peace and love,
like I’ve never felt before.
It was then that I understood
both in my head and in my heart
the Apostle Paul’s words to
the Phillipipians:
I’ve got two longings
that are tearing me apart
While I ache to go home
with Jesus my Lord
I also crave to stay here
and do the work
He’s called me to.
*************************
I had 2 songs in a dream on 9/16/2005 Even though different things reminded the old
man, in the dream, of various Christian songs, which I didn’t record, there was one
song that they were singing just before the vision and when he came out of the vision,
that I recorded. The tune is similar to that of the lyrical phrase “I will cling to the old
rugged cross.”
In the dream I was seeing everything through the eyes of an old man. The dream
was filled with songs, but either I didn’t recognize or couldn’t comprehend them. Also,
the old man had a habit of seeing or hearing something and comparing it to sections
of lyrics from his musical repertoire.
The dream began with the old man – I’ll call him Elder - sitting in a living room with
several brothers and sisters. Everyone appeared to be Caucasian; I don’t know if
they were Americans. All doors were locked and each curtain drawn. All hands were
raised; a few saints were crying as they worshipped the Lord. Elder gritted his teeth
because of the severe throbbing in his gnarled, arthritic hands. He was telling the
Lord, in the quietness of his heart, that he was tired of living.

Someone in the group, I think it was a lady, began singing a song that I didn’t
recognize.

“We will serve the Lord Jesus Christ…” (Heavenly

Songs #1)
Suddenly everything disappeared and the old man was in heaven, surrounded by
multitudes of people or angels who were singing to the Lord. You couldn’t actually
see the people, or angels, as the light was so bright. Elder saw a ball of lightening
and fire in the distant center. Fog or smoke emanated from the fire and lightening,
which spread out, covering the heavenly choir.

As Elder hung suspended with the people or angels, words and music, like peals of
thunder and mighty rushing waters, surrounded him. Strangely, the music did not
seem to have a beat, but rather ebbed and flowed. Parts of the music were
indescribable, while other sections sounded like waterfalls or rain or sand falling on
different surfaces, or waves rushing along sandy beaches or pummeling granite cliffs.
Streams rippling, with wind chime tinkles, across stones and gravel. Bird trills and
the drone of insects.

Sound was not the only sensorial imagery. Nuances of taste, scent or touch added
their own unique accents. Walking through pines on a snowy day or along rain
dampened deciduous forests trails in autumn at twilight. Tropical breezes. Light
winds rattling leaves. Freshly mown clover or shorn sheep wool. Orchard and
greenhouse scents. Black berries plucked from a prickly bush followed by the wet
fruity taste of the juice. Cool water, lifted in a wooden bucket, from a rough, stony,
desert well, drunk in long cool draughts, and then splashed over dusty hands.
Various sensorial images were threaded, in vague ribbons, throughout the musical
piece.

Even though the words seemed incomprehensible, it was obvious that everyone was
praising Jesus. His presence and peace were literally tangible. Just as the old man
was about to open his mouth and join the singing, his body began to tingle and burn.

“Your work is not finished,” said the Lord, in the man’s native tongue, “When you are
finished, I will call you home.” As the echoes, both of the Lord’s words and the
heavenly choir, dimmed, so too did the heavenly vision. While the heavens grew
faint, the sights and sounds of earth became stronger, until at last the old man
reappeared in his chair.

The old man, bereft of the Lord’s heavenly presence, was overcome with a poignant
sense of loss. He remembered and pondered Paul’s words:

“For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

But if I live in the flesh, this to me is fruit of my labor,
and what I shall choose I do not know.
For I am pressed together by the two:
having a desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better,
but to remain in the flesh is more necessary on account of you.” Philippians 1:21-24

Great love for his brothers and sisters, and a new boldness, strength and assurance,
flooded Elder.

While the gathered saints finished the song, (Heavenly Song 1) one of them
compared the glow around the old man with the glow Moses had after being in the
presence of the Lord. Another pointed out, with elated surprise, that Elder’s hands
were no longer knobby or swelled. Elder happily began to share his vision with the
gathered saints. As a part of that testimony he sang Heavenly Song 2, Elder’s Song.

In a dream 5.26.04

This song is about humility and dying to self for Jesus. It is

also a reminder that whatever our occupation, from farmer
to factory worker, or housewife to hat maker, whatever we
do should be done to the glory of the Lord. Also, any
Christian, paid or unpaid, is a worker in the kingdom.

Having two castes of Christians -clergy and laity - is a

tradition of men. The Lord distributes gifts of service and
levels of responsibility throughout the body as He wills.
The most important servants should serve as the lowliest of
servants. We are all brothers and sisters – Jesus is our
Shepherd.

Plus, we should do our utmost to be sure we are

actually doing the work of the Kingdom, in our
spheres of influence, according to the scriptures,
not according to the traditions of men. We need to

*********

While praying in the “guest house” on Hillsdale tabernacle

property, in the spring of ’91, the words of “Lift your hands
to God” came to me. I wrote them down quickly so that I
wouldn’t forget them. I thought I would forget the tune,
but because a few bars sound like the TOM DOOLIE song I was
able to remember it

Of course we all have a time, which we are appointed to

die, but we can have eternal life through Jesus Christ. This
kind of reminds me of a saying that I made up once, “Life
does not come with a game save, but you can be saved.”
Maybe that quaint saying came from the inspiration of the
Spirit- in any event Jesus should get the glory.

From a dream 9/1/04

On September 1st 2004, a Christian brother from

Iowa called me during the afternoon. As a part of
MISSION FOR THE FATHER And King of Kings.

All hail Jesus,

GOD SENT
His seed down to earth.
In the form of His only Son.
Jesus was anointed
With God’s wisdom,
Power and love.
He was born to rule,
But first He had
His Father’s mission
To fulfill.
Jesus wandered the land.
Signs and Wonders
The Kingdom was at hand.
Lord of Lords
And King of Kings.
MISSION was received in a dream in June of 1995.
Because the music had sounded rocky and had
strange lyrics (the signet ring), I decided not to put
it in my songbook.
Several years later I started thinking about the song
and trying to rewrite it. While trying to rewrite it,
when looking for something else in some old
papers, I found a dated copy of the original song.
Later, with the help of a concordance, I found that
the phrase signet or signet ring is used several
times in the Bible, depending on the translation.
Various KJV (Modern, Revised, 1611) translations
use the term signet alone, not in combination with
ring.

Lamb of Sacrifice.
He shed His blood
And gave His life.

Jesus paid for our sin.

Death could not hold Him.
He lives once again.

Jesus will return.

Lord of Lords
And King of Kings.

He will rule the land,

Jehovah’s mighty Son
And signet ring.

All hail Jesus,

Lord of Lords

From a dream in November of 2002. When I sang it in the first dream a
lady came and said I would now begin having more opportunities to share
this and other songs. While I was singing I was watching the statue of
liberty at night through a window. When I awoke I was having a hard
time remembering all of the words. In the second dream a brother asked
me if I had gotten the rest of the words.
