Eyes of Faith Can See

(Ecclesiastes 9:5-10)

In quiet sleep beneath the ground, no voice, no thought, no sound,

The dead rest deep in peaceful night, no pain or fear is found.

No dreams disturb, no tears will fall, no sorrow fills their head,

For God has said they sleep in peace, the living know the dead.

Their breath goes out, they turn to dust, their plans all fade away,

No work or thought remains with them, no light, no night, no day.

Like falling into gentle sleep at close of weary eyes,

They wait until God calls them back to wake and to arise.

(Hebrews 11:1 Faith)

We do not see with human sight what waits beyond the grave,

But faith holds strong to promises our loving Father gave.

His word, a guide, a steady light, shows death is not the end,

For He remembers every life, each soul His hands defend.

(John 5:28,29)

A voice will call from heaven’s throne, and all who sleep will hear,

They’ll rise again to life restored, with joy that casts out fear.

No tears, no pain, no death will stay, all sorrow swept away,

A brand-new life on earth renewed, in everlasting day.

(Revelation 21:3,4)

So though we grieve and miss our own, we do not lose all hope,

For God has set a future bright, beyond what we can cope.

Like waking from a peaceful rest when morning light is near,

They’ll live again, forever strong, with love that conquers fear.

(Bridge 2 Timothy 3:16, 17)

We trust the words our God has said,

He remembers all the dead.

Though we wait and do not see,

His promise stands for you and me.

Like the dawn brings morning light,

After darkness fades from sight,

All who sleep will rise one day,

Death itself will pass away.

(Chorus Psalm 37:9,10;29)

Hope will rise when we cannot see,

Faith holds on to what will be.

Those asleep will wake again,

Called by God, to life, amen.

No more tears, no pain, no night,

He will make all things made right.

Death is not the final door,

Love will live forevermore.

("Ecclesiastes 3:11 God has put eternity in their heart. Why would a God of love

(James 4:8) promise such a thing if it was not possible! Have faith!" )
