Life like a mist, appears for just a day then disappears tomorrow, All that we are can quickly fade away, replaced with tears and sorrow. If a man should die, can he live again? Hear the promise God has made. Friends of our God, though they may pass away, Will never be forsaken. All those asleep who in God’s memory stay, From death he will awaken. Then we’ll come to see all that life can be, paradise eternally…He will call, the dead will answer, they shall live at his command, for he will have a longing, for the works of his own hand. So have faith, and do not wonder, for our God can make us stand, and we shall live forever, as the work of his own hand…Job 14:13-15
