Death Is Nothing but a Moment's Rest
Death is nothing but a moment's rest Until the Second Coming of the Lord When He shall gather to Him of the best To take them to the place of their reward. I've felt the power of Jesus in my soul
Shining like a golden sun within, Melting my hard heart to make me whole,
Burning out the remnants of my sin. I've felt Him work within me, so I know The glory that will come when I awake. I'll sleep just like a child who'll homeward go, And in my dreams of love great pleasures take. So do not mourn my death, and do not grieve. The Lord will come for me: This I believe.
-The Family-
