There's A Reason
For every pain that we must bear, For every burden, everycare, There's a reason.
For every grief that bows the head, For every teardrop that is shed, There's a reason.
For every hurt, for every plight, For every lonely, pain-racked night,
There's a reason.
But if we trust God as we should, It all will work our for our good.
He knows the reason.

Death Opens The Door To Life Evermore
We live a short while on earth below.
Reluctant to die for we do not know
Just what "dark death" is all about
And so we view it with fear and doubt
Not certain of what is around the bend
We look on death as the final end
To all that made us a mortal being
And yet there lies just beyond our seeing
A beautiful life so full and complete
That we should leave with hurrying feet
To walk with God by sacred streams
Amid beauty and peace beyond our dreams -
For all who believe in the RISEN LORD
Have been assured of this reward
And death for them is just "graduation"
To a higher realm of wide elevation -
For
.
life
on
earth
is
a
transient
affair '
Just a few brief years in which to prepare
For a life that is free from pain and tears
Where time is not counted by hour of years -
For death is only the method God chose
To colonize heaven with the souls of those
Who by their apprenticeship on earth
Proved worthy to dwell in the land of new birth
So death is not sad ... it's a time for elation' A joyous transition ... the soul's emigration
Into a place where the soul's SAFE and FREE
To live with God through ETERNITY!
