BEYOUND LIFE AND DEATH :: WE WILL LIVE AGAIN TOMORROW

The lifespan given to man by nature is very short
Tis a life of short duration
That we live upon the earth
Knowing that death's cold visitation
Is appointed to us at birth ,
But this thought will not return us
When it carries us away
For the grave cannot confine us --
We will rise to live for aye.

We accept our lot as Mortals.
When we come to realize
We shall pass this earth but once
We must pass through death's dark portals
On our way into the skies,
Though each passing day now takes us
Nearer Jordan's waiting Shore
When the trump of God awakes us
We will live forevermore.

We are placed here ( Earth ) on probation
And the years which we receive
Are our time for preparation
For the moment when we leave,
Flesh and blood must be surrenndered
To a tomb of silent gloam
But with hope divinely genedered
We await our passage home.

Day by day we're drawing nearer
To the time when life will end
And the moment all grow dearer
As we've fewer here to spend,
But we face it without sorrow
Knowing as we onward plod --
We will live again tomorrow
In the paradise of God.
