The dust returns to the ground it came from, and the spirit returns to God who gave it (Ecclesiastes 12:7; NIV).
God will redeem me from the world of the dead; he will surely take me to himself (Psalm 49:15; NIV).
You have brought me into your presence forever (Psalm 41:12; NLT).
Lord,
Each meditation
Brings a taste
Of life beyond my death –
A little space
For union with you,
Where one day
I will dwell for evermore.
