The dust returns to the ground it came from, and the spirit returns to God who gave it (Ecclesiastes 12:7; NIV).
God is love (1 John 4:16; NIV).
I knew you before I formed you in your mother’s womb (Jeremiah 1:5; NLT).
Lord,
At death, I’ll leave behind
My flesh and bones,
But my spirit will return
To you who gave it,
Merging with
Your oceanic love,
From which you brought me,
Long ago, to birth.
