Life Is Forever, Death Is a Dream
If we did not go to sleep at night
We’d never awaken to see the light.
And the joy of watching a new day break
Or meeting the dawn by some quiet lake,
Would never be ours unless we slept
While God and all His angels kept,
A vigil through this “little death”
That’s over with the morning’s breath.
And death, too, is a time of sleeping
For those who died are in God’s keeping.
And there’s a sunrise for each soul,
For life, not death is God’s promised goal.
So trust God’s promise and doubt Him never.
For only through death can man live forever!
