All must die


No one can live forever; all will die. No one can escape the power of the grave (Psalm 89:48; NLT).

Lord, we fade and suffer pain,
For all must die to rise again.
Yet, may we trust your love and grace,
For all will die in your embrace.

We’ll be changed when life is through,
For all must die to live with you.
So, may we gladly leave this place,
For after death all see your face.

Now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then we will see face to face (1 Corinthians 13:12; NRSV).


Reference

We will all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we will be changed. For this corruptible body must be clothed with incorruptibility, and this mortal body must be clothed with immortality (1 Corinthians 15:51-3; CSB).
