Be silent before the Sovereign Lord (Zephaniah 1:7; NIV).

There will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain (Revelation 21:4; NLT).

Whoever is united with the Lord is one with him in spirit (1 Corinthians 6:17; NIV).

Lord,
When I sit down
To meditate, in silence,

I leave my flesh behind,
And with it, pain;

I leave my mind behind,
And with it, thought;

I leave my heart behind,
And with it, all emotion –

Except the bliss of unity
With you.
