fVe all were meant to learn some things,
A resting place along the road.
Different paths along the way.
We all have different journeys.
Life is but a stopping place,
A pause in what's to be.
but never meant to stay...
to sweet eternity.
Our destination is a place.
Far greater than we know.
For some the journeys quicker.
For some the journeys slow.
And when the journey finally ends,
we'll claim a great reward.
And find an everlasting peace.
Together with the lord.

Jesus took his own hand and wiped away her tears
And smoothed the furrows from her face
And the Angels sang a little song.

Weep not weep not
She is not dead
She is resting in the bosom of Jesus
