(Verse 1)
There are silences that wound us,
tears too deep to fully express;
when a loved one departs,
the heart is often left broken.
And though the soul feels emptiness
and the sorrow may run deep,
we do not live without hope,
because the Savior lives.
Jesus wept in the face of death;
He knows our suffering well.
Yet He conquered the darkened tomb
through His glorious Resurrection.
(Pre-Chorus)
Death does not have the final word;
Christ defeated it upon the Cross.
And whoever remains faithful to His grace
shall behold His light again.
(Chorus)
Until we meet again,
rest in the peace of the Lord;
for Christ promised eternal life
to those who remain in His love.
This is not a farewell forever;
faith lifts us up once more.
We await the glorious day
when God will reunite us again.
And though today we weep on earth,
hope gives us strength to carry on;
for whoever believes in Jesus Christ
shall live again with Him.
(Verse 2)
The Lord has given us His Word,
eternal, holy, and faithful;
God never abandons
those who place their trust in Him.
Christ said: “I am the Resurrection
and the eternal Life as well”;
whoever believes and remains in His grace
shall live forever in God.
True faith perseveres
even in the midst of sorrow;
for Heaven was promised
to those who follow the Lord.
(Pre-Chorus)
When fear overtakes us
and everything seems to grow dark,
the promise of Jesus Christ
restores our hope to life again.
(Chorus)
Until we meet again,
rest in the peace of the Lord;
for Christ promised eternal life
to those who remain in His love.
This is not a farewell forever;
faith lifts us up once more.
We await the glorious day
when God will reunite us again.
And though today we weep on earth,
hope gives us strength to carry on;
for whoever believes in Jesus Christ
shall live again with Him.
(Bridge)
Christ conquered death and sin;
the stone was rolled away.
The tomb is no longer the end of the journey,
because Christ has risen.
And if we walk within His grace,
living in faithful obedience,
the mercy of the Lord shall lead us
into the glory of eternity.
(Final)
Until we meet again,
if God grants us entrance
into the promised glory
where sorrow shall be no more.
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
one God and Savior;
receive Your children into Your Kingdom
through the Blood of Christ, O Lord.
