Story Behind The Song
This song is vintage! It was the second song I wrote after becoming a Christian. I actually wrote it and performed it for a church Thanksgiving dinner. It was a "campus ministry staple" in our early years when my husband and I worked with college students at His House in Michigan.
Song Description
Song describes the joy in the family of God, being together in Jesus Christ on our journey to heaven together. Jesus' love is meant to be shared with our neighbors and He should be the center of all we do...for His glory!

Lyrics
Look at all the Family
Chorus: Look at all the family
and look at all the smiles!
It's Jesus. Jesus.
We're on our way to heaven
and we're happy all the while!
It's Jesus our Lord!
Have you ever seen such happiness like Jesus' people show?
I've done a little travelin', well just enough to know
That Jesus living in a heart is something else to see.
That peace & joy keep flowing out to you, brother, and to me.
Now the kind of love that Jesus gives, you just can't hold it back!
You've got to tell your neighbor there's something that he lacks
The blood of Jesus covering iniquity and sin,
But when Jesus Christ comes in your life, you will be born again!
Now we're gathered here together in His precious, holy name!
And everything we do or say should glorify the same.
So let us lift up Jesus every minute of the day
And let His Holy Spirit in to live with us and stay!
