Poetry
In The Hands Of A Merciful God
Death is simply, just a part of living
as we all, very well know
In everyone’s life there’ll come a time
when we must let a loved one go
They leave behind a big empty hole
that no other could ever fill
We love them so much, and letting go
seems impossible, almost surreal
If we have lived our life here, for Jesus
we’ll be reunited one day
But if one should decline God’s salvation
then we must go a separate way
How sorrowful it’ll be to reach Heaven
and not seeing them there
To search through the streets of that city
and not finding them, anywhere
It’s so painful when a loved one dies
if we know their soul was lost
They could have so easily, accepted Jesus
for all sin, he paid the cost
Some will try to put them in Heaven
knowing they lived a life of sin
When the scriptures plainly tell us
only the righteous will enter therein
No tears can change their eternal fate
after they take that final breath
When mortal life is done, it is then settled
there is no turning around, after death
Today is a blessing, we still have a chance
to help lost loved ones, find the way
So when the time comes and we must part
we can meet in Heaven some day

I am so glad we belong to such a merciful God for if it werent that way, none of us would stand a chance. He gave his life for me, so what is it that I should do something as simple as serving him each day?! Anita
Oh Bessie, i just lost my brother and thank You Jesus , he was saved. You are so right about the comfort we have when we know they are there. God forgive me, i'm not doing enough with my loved ones that aren't saved. Thank you for these words, so well done!!
