THE FAMILY’S TRIBUTE

From dusk to dawn

The moon soon to be gone

Thanks be to GOD

A new day_ a new yawn_

The birds with a new song of old

Holy!Holy! Is the Lord GOD Almighty!

For He_was_ is and is to come

 

The righteous perisheth,

no man layeth it to heart:

merciful men are taken away,

none considering,the righteous is taken from the evil to come.

So we are always of good courage

When a one departs

Our citizenship is in heaven

We are just passers by

on the Way our Lord Jesus Christ

In this journey called Life

The destiny of all men is death

said the preacher but it goes on deeper

As written by Paul and Peter

 

All flesh is like grass,

it’s glory like the flower of grass.

The grass withers,the flower falls

But the Word of the Lord is unchanged

The last Adam that became a life giving Spirit

The One who conquered sin and death

In whom we die and in whom we are raised

 

We are a spirit in a stack of clay

Some lay, some hair grey and some stay

mystical sway in a supernatural play

The mystery of faith in a defined fate

We shall not all die but we shall be changed

Thus this faithful saying

Death is swallowed up in victory

 

To be absent from the body

is to be present with the Lord

In all things we thank GOD

Fighting the good fight of faith

Focus on the author and finisher

Of faith,to live is Christ to die is gain

For our GOD is not the GOD of the dead

 

You can shed tears that she is gone

Or you can smile because she has lived on

You can worry of the flesh that decay

Or seek those which are above with Christ

While we look not on the things that are seen

For we walk by faith not by sight

To know the Lord Jesus Christ is to know Life
