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!
