Past 2

Ecclesiastes 7:2 New English Translation (NET Bible)It is better to go to a funeral
than a feast.
For death is the destiny of every person,
and the living should take this to heart.
 Past folks

 

What happens to people ... I’ve known so long?

It seems one after another ... gets stricken by disease.

Not too old younger than me ... like an unfinished song

that now fades from memory ... a lost gift if you please.

 

Are they prepared to meet ... their Maker face to face?

A time set aside for all ... as though now time stands still.

Will peace and happiness wait ... for the departed of the race

if they had refused the sacrifice ... the gift from Calvary’s hill.

 

Only God knows for sure ... and the ones called home

will surely understand ...  at the feet of “Son of Man”.

A one way street with no return...  realizing now what’s going on

far beyond repentance now ... as they pass from now to then.
