Analysis of Death



Death is not a time to fear
nor is it a time to fret,
Jesus is ever near,
it is not over yet.

Even though I have left you here below,
you must already know,
I am resting in the Holy City,
where there is plenty.
I will be here waiting for all,
when God so chooses to call.

Death is not the end,
just a crossing in the bend,
I am with JESUS above,
who is extending his Great love.

Death is coming to all,
so that we will not fall,
JESUS is still on the Throne,
He will never be GONE.

When we close our eyes,
our souls are in the heavenly skies,
forever to be with HIM on High,
in the Sweet by and by,
