UNION BAPTIST CHURCH ATLANTA, GEORGIA
THE REVEREND JAMES A. WILBORN PASTOR, OFFICIATING
THERE IS NO DEATH
There is a plan far greater than the plan you know;
There is a landscape broader than the one you see. There is a haven where storm-tossed souls may goYou call it death - we immorality.
You call it death - this seeming, endless sleep; We call it birth - the soul at last set free. *Tis hampered not by time or space-you weep. Why weep at death? *Tis immorality.
Farewell, dear Voyageur-the river winds and turns; The cadence of your song wafts near to me. And now you know the thing that all men learn; There is no death-there1s immorality.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
The family of the late Mr Shannon Fouch acknowledge with sincere gratefulness the many kind and thoughtful expressions of sympathy shown during their bereavement. May God bless you and yours.
