A wise person thinks a lot about death (Ecclesiastes 7:4; NLT).
Be strong and courageous! (Psalm 31:24; NLT).
Whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord (Romans 14:8; NIV).
The spirit returns to God who gave it (Ecclesiastes 12:7; NIV).
Return, O my soul, to your rest (Psalm 116:7: ESV).
Lord,
When it’s time
For me to die,
Please give me
The courage
And strength
I need,
So I can let go of life,
At last,
And grasp your hand
Instead.
