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 fear 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 the 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 life that is free from pain and tears.

Where time is not counted by hours or years-----

For death is only the method God Chose

To colonise heaven with the souls of those

Who by their appenticeship on earth

Proved worthy to dwell in the land of new birth-----

So death is not sad..... its a time for elation,

A joyous transition.... the souls imigration

Into a place where the souls' SAFE AND FREE

To live with GOD through ETERNITY

Love to you and your famlily.
