Sayings about Life

“I’ll see you forever
For you are a part of me
And I myself a part of thee
Inseparable in God

Thre [there] is no tomorrow now
Though sun may rise and set
And sleepy eyes may slumber, still
Eternity now is set

It’s stamped upon my heart and yours
It’s seal : the Love of Christ
Which willingly I have received
And cherish more than earthly life

This soul awaits a body that will not die-
This soul awaits to see Him with it’s eye-
This soul awaits our meeting in the sky-
For faithful is our God
Who once did die , but now’s ALIVE :
We’ll see Him forever.”
