When I was on the airplane last Monday, headed to my grandmother's funeral
I came across a Sovereign Grace song on an album called Come Weary Saints.
It is called It is Not Death to Die. This song so encouraged and comforted my heart,
that I wanted to share the lyrics. Actually, it is an old hymn redone by Bob Kauflin.
It is not death to die
to leave this weary road
and join the saints who dwell on high
who found their home with God.
It is not death to close
the eyes long dimmed by tears
and wake in joy before your throne
delivered from our fears.
O Jesus, conquering the grave
your precious blood has vowed to save
those who trust in you will in your mercy find
that it is not death to die.
It is not death to fling
aside this earthly dust
and rise with strong and nobel wing
to live among the just.
It is not death to hear
the key unlock the door
that sets us free from mortal years
to praise you evermore.
O Jesus, conquering the grave
your precious blood has vowed to save
those who trust in you will in your mercy find
the it is not death to die.
What a great promise and hope - that we can have peace and death here on earth is just temporary!!! PRAISE HIM! Praying and loving all of you, nw/mom
