Those that die in Christ are not dead but sleeping, And all the while your soul He is safely keeping.
There is nothing for you to worry about, The body will come out of the grave with a shout.
The grave couldn't hold Jesus; neither can it hold me, Jesus gave me a promise that is the way it will be.
Those that die in Christ there is no need for sorrow, Because the resurrection might be on the morrow.
It is only the body that is in the grave, If I die eternal life to me He already gave.
While the body is in the grave sleeping, I am in Heaven rejoicing, not weeping.
The grave won't be able to hold me there,
The earth one day of its dead will be stripped bare.
The grave is only a temporary place,
I prepared not to stay there by God's grace.
At death remember you are not really dead, But already enjoying the things that lie ahead.
At death I am just beginning to live, Because long ago His own life He came to give.
The grave is only a resting place for a few days, I chose God for my life and His ways.
So grave don't think I will be there for long, I will be back to pick it up singing a new song.
One day the grave will have to let me go, It will have lost its power God said so.
This earthly life has now past,
Body and Spirit are united and home with Christ at last.

Make me the best soldier I can be, Fighting battles until there is victory.
And be faithful and true, Because only my best will do.
Doing my best I won't let You down, When I was lost You searched until I was found.
And until that day You appear,
I want to be busy for You as long as I am here.
There is so much yet to do.
Helping the poor, sending missionaries for You.
Never losing sight of people who still need to hear; Jesus died; no need to live in fear.
We must work while it is yet day, Helping those who are struggling along the way. I know I have not always done my best for You, But You still forgave, because You wanted to.
There are times I don't know what else to do, I just pray and wait on You.
And stand until I know the next step I must take.
And study Your word for my own sake.
Your will for long You will not conceal, But in due time will reveal.
I won't worry about what next to do, There is someone to lend a helping hand to.
Your word must be heard by every ear, Not one soul should there be that does not hear.
But perhaps soon You will come, Then those prepared will go ... everyone.
