We stood there mourning in tears
His loss the fulfillment of our fears
He had every gift but length of years

So many try to reason why,and yet
We  all so easily forget, there is
A power stronger than was his

Lamentations, why, how, where
Used to cover our helpless despair
Faith and hope vanish in thin air

We forget the concept of eternity
Seeing death as truth of  finality
Demanding reasons to keep our sanity

It is right and proper for us to mourn
Just as we celebrate life when it's born
But,we shouldn't dwell in feeling forlorn

Remember, the body is all death claims
Our  saved soul, lives  in God's domain
Awaiting a new body in Jesus' name

The end of death came when Jesus died
All who believe in Him are by His side
Ready to wear the body of a new bride

+++++++

Note: Bride is a metaphor for Christ's church
Church meaning the Body of Christ,the mystery
of how we "in body" become like Christ
