These verses came to me yesterday as I was saying my final prayers in bed, late at night. This doesn’t happen very often. I broke off to begin working on it right away.
The Kingdom of Heaven is near (Matthew 10:7; NLT).
When we die, Lord,
Heaven is near –
There won’t be time to weep,
Or fear,
For you will clasp us
To your breast,
And welcome us
To share your rest.
There won’t be any grief
Or pain –
Your touch
Will make us whole again.
Then we’ll rejoice
That life is done,
And sing forever, Lord,
As one.
Those who die in the LORD will live; their bodies will rise again! Those who sleep in the earth will rise up and sing for joy! (Isaiah 26:19; NLT).
You are all one in Christ Jesus (Galatians 3:28; NLT).
