LIFE IS ETERNAL
,
"Life is eternal", the good Lord said,
So do not think of your loved one as dead --
For death is only a stepping stone
To a beautiful life we have never known,
A place where God promised man he would be
Eternally happy and safe and free,
A wonderful land where we live anew
When our journey on earth is over and through --
So trust in God and doubt Him never
For a\ll who love Him live forever,
And; while we cannot understand
:
Just let the Saviour take your hand,
Fror when dearth's angel comes to call,
So/a/is so great and we're so small . . .
And there is nothing you need fear
For faith in God makes all things clear. :
