When Death brings weeping and the heart is filled with sorrow.

It calls us to seek God as we ask about tomorrow.

And in these hours of heart-hurt, We draw closer to believing.

That even death, in God’s hands is not a time for grieving

But a time for joy in knowing death is just a stepping stone

To a life that’s everlasting such as we have never known. HSR
