Gospel

---

The sons of this world in having wives,
With children as born of their marriage;
Trying to make something of their lives,
And having a car with a nice little cottage.

But whoever has been given their reward,
And having returned back from the dead;
No longer has a wife that is on the record,
Being severed from all earthly ties instead.

Death no longer has any power over them,
Because they are now equal to the angels;
No longer bound to earth or as condemn,
Rather of a resurrection free of shackles.

The sons of the resurrection sons of God,
And now that as the dead have been raised;
Respecting the Father with honor and laud,
While His Holy name joyously be praised.

Even Moses had stated that the dead return,
He summoned God as a bush was burning;
The promise of an inheritance we will earn,
He is not God of the dead but of the living.
