Death Is Not the End

Death is not the end of life,
in fact, it’s life anew,
if you’re in Christ the Savior,
and the Spirit lives in you.

 It’s the start of better things,
no tears, no hurt, no strife,
no illness, pain or cares
that weight us down in life.

 Gazing on the sovereign God,
joy and peace forevermore;
stepping from constraints of time
through Heaven’s Open Door.

 We need not fear mortal death,
it beats this life, for sure!
Perfection is what God has planned
for those who can endure.
