You talk about eternal life
You talk about your kingdom coming in this world
A kingdom without space or time
You talk about a people that will follow you
For your disciples you will pray
I love you so my Jesus, my life is guided by your hand.
This life that I've been given
This life, I have received it
As a gift from your hand.
Let all my days reflect your precious, holy name
Everything that I do, let it glorify you,
My Savior and my God.
My child, you don't have to worry about your life
My word is all the strength you need.
My child, only one thing matters that at last
It's that you've lived your life for me
You have to choose the good part that will never fail
Though all the world may fade away
I'll listen to my Jesus, He is to me the bread of life

Eu fico aqui sentado em silêncio ouvindo sua Palavra
Você fala sobre a vida eterna
Você fala sobre o seu reino vindo neste mundo
Um reino sem espaço ou tempo
Você fala sobre um povo que te seguirá
Pelos seus discípulos vocês rezarão,
eu amo tu assim meu Jesus, a minha vida é guiada pelas tuas mãos.
Esta vida que me foi dada
É apenas um momento
Esta vida, eu a recebi
Como um presente de suas mãos.
Que todos os meus dias reflitam seu precioso e santo nome.
Tudo o que eu faço, que te glorifique,
Meu Salvador e meu Deus.
Meu filho, você não precisa se preocupar com sua vida.
Minha palavra é toda a força de que você precisa.
Meu filho, só uma coisa importa
é que você viveu sua vida por mim
Você tem que escolher a parte boa que nunca falhará
Embora todo o mundo possa desaparecer
Eu ouvirei meu Jesus, Ele é para mim o pão da vida.

@Tiberius291
Let's be real, contemporary gospel was great back then.
@jponz85
They just don't make these kinds of music anymore sadly
@johnkayode879
Please pray along with me for victory over sin and a healthy Christian life in Christ Jesus
@lexol3347
Evie's beautiful music and lovely dimpled smile have blessed me for many years. I still have some of her cassettes.
@Ericc532
Her voice was among the first group of singers that I listened to when I received the Lord back in 79. Precious memories
@RainbowFlowerCrow
I'm an atheist now, but I still love the music that I grew up with.... Evie is one of favourites! I still live by Christian principles, and I know that there is value in what my mother tried to teach me to live by. I'm here now because even though I can't honestly say that I'm a believer anymore, I am learning to value the things that my mother tried to teach me💜 I hope that I can be granted as much time as is needed to learn; I appreciate prayers and well wishes, and I hope that people can be kind to me in the comments, because I don't hate christians, even though I am atheist 💜
@er5650
I used to listen to her songs in 70's. My mom will leave tape on all thru the night.. And i will wake up in middle in nite n this was whenni lived in PR; and it will still playing her precious songs n her voice just will melt my heart... God bless her...
@jackieszemesi3997
This Life has been my testsmony song through theses years. Started singing it and and it ministered to my from the 70's. All her music is wonderful. So anointed by Our God. When praying and singing with my mom and I together praying for our husbands and loved ones for all and many to be saved. Through worship and prayer to Jesus Amen.
