Gob 14:13--15)
1. Life, like amist, appears for just a day, then disappears tomorrow. All that we are can quickly fade away, Replaced with tears and sorrow. If a man should die, can he live again? Hear the promise God has made:
(CHOR US}
He wiii call;The dead wiii answer. They shall live at his command. For he wiii have a longing for the work of his own hand. So havefaith,and do not wonder, for our God can make us stand. And we shall live forever, as the work of his own hand.
2. Friends ofour God, though they may pass away,wiii never beforsaken. All those asleep who in God's mem'ry stay,from death he will awaken. Then we'll come to see all that life can be: Paradise eternally.
( CHOR US}
He will call;The dead will answer. They shall live at his command. For he wiii have a longing for the work of his own hand. So havefaith, and do not wonder,for our God can make us stand. And we shall liveforever,as the work ofhis own hand.
(See also John 6:40; 11:11, 43;]as. 4:14)
134 -- See Yourself When All Is New (Revelation 21:1--5)
1. Just seeyourself, just see me too;Just seeus all in aworld that is new. Think howyou'llfed, how it will be, to liveinpeace, to betrulyfree. No evil one will then prevail; ruleby our God cannot everfail. The time will have comefor a new earthly start, thesong ofour praises Will pour out from our heart:
(CHORUS) 'jehovah our God,how well you havedone! All things arenew by the rule ofyour Son. The fullness ofour heart overflows in our song; All glory and honor and praise to you belong."
2. Nowsee yourself, and see me too;and look ahead to aworld that is new. No sight we see, no sound we hear,Will cause alarm orgive riseto fear. All has come true,just as he said; Now over mankind, his tent is spread. He now shall awaken those sleeping in death; their voices will join us with Ev'ry grateful breath:
(CHOR US) 'jehovah our God,how well you have done! All things arenew by the rule ofyour Son. The fullness of our heart overflows in our song; All glory and honor and praise to you belong."

Memories
Charles L Evans, 64, passed away Saturday, January 14, 2012 at his residence in Atlanta, Georgia, with family by his side after battling a long illness. Charles was born on December 6, 1947 in Phenix City, Alabama to the late Julius Evans, Sr. and Lillie Smith Evans. He was the second of five children.
Charles served a brief period in the United States Army. He later met the love of his life, Gloria Snipes, in Chicago, Illinois, and they were married January 7, 1978. They made their home in Decatur, Georgia and had one son, Jason born July 30, 1982. Charles worked for DeKalb County Government in water quality control until he had a stroke in 1999, which forced him to retire.
Charles had a devout love for Jehovah God and his son Jesus Christ, prompting him to began an in/depth study of the Bible with Jehovah's Witnesses. As Charles love and devotion for Jehovah's word deepened, he dedicated his life as one of Jehovah's Witnesses and was baptized June, 1980. Prior to his illness Charles would regularly spend time each month sharing the good news of God's Kingdom with others.
Charles was very passionate about reading and learning new things. He would use this knowledge by teaching others and talking about the things that affected people lives most. He also took a great interest in cultural studies.
He thought of himself as a Mr. <fix/it', if it needed repairing, he was the man to call. Charles also had a true love for fishing and would often carry a fishing pole in his car, just in case he found a fishing hole. He fondly passed that special love of fishing to his son Jason.
Charles was a very devoted husband, father, son, brother, uncle, brother/in/law, and friend. He looks forward to a life in a peaceful New World, where no one can say I'm sick. (Revelations 21:4).
Charles was preceded in death by his father Julius Evans, Sr. He is survived by: his wife, Gloria Evans and his son, Jason Evans of Norcross, GA. He is also survived by: his mother, Lillie Eason of Alpharetta, GA; four siblings, Julius (Sabrina) Evans, Jr. of Lithonia, GA, Delois King of Snellville, GA, Gail (Richard) Jefferson of Alpharetta, GA, and Nicole Eason of Norcross, GA; his mother/in/law, Clevie Snipes of Eufaula, AL; a host of nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.
