Whoever is united with the Lord is one with him in spirit
(1 Corinthians 6:17; NIV).
Father God,
1. When I must die,
My soul will not have far to fly.
2. You live in me; I live in you –
There’s nothing I will need to do
3. But leave this body, and its pain,
To step into your arms again.
4. Then, Father, we will re-combine,
For I am yours, and you are mine.
5. Yes, Father, we will re-unite
Forever, in your glorious light.
Into your hands I commit my spirit
(Psalm 31:5; NIV).
🧡
