Lee Gene Mr. Cox

Life is eternal the good Lord said, So do not think of your loved one as dead - For death is only a stepping stone to a beautiful life we have never known. A place where God promised man he would be eternally happy, safe and free. A wonderful land where we live anew, when our journey on earth is over and through - So trust in God and doubt him never for all who love Him live forever, and while we cannot understand, just let the Savior take your hand, For when deaths angels come to call, God is so great and we're so small...and there is nothing you need fear, for faith in God makes all things clear.
