"They Are with Me"
I am sorry for your loss.
I had a Son who died, too.
It grieved Me to watch Him suffer,
But now all things are new!
Some ask why their loved one died -
just know that I Am good.
In a fallen world, sometimes life
ends sooner than it should.
Those who die in Christ -
to them, it is gain.
Where there's death - there's Life,
and they'll never be the same!
As a glove is for a hand,
and removed to be free;
so a soul out of body
is free to be with Me.
