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 view it with feat 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 our 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 a life that is free from pain and tears Where time is not counted by hours and years - For death is only the method God chose To colonize heaven with souls of those Who by their apprenticeship on earth Proved worthy to dwell in the land of new birth - So death is not sad . . . it's time for elation, A joyous transition . . . the soul's emigration Into a place where the soul's SAFE and FREE To live with God through ETERNITY!

For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 8: 38, 39
