Afraid To Die?

"Afraid to die?
Of what?
To fear the spirit’s sweet release,
To pass from pain to perfect peace,
The strife and strain of life to cease.
Afraid of that?

Afraid to die?
Of what?
Afraid to see the Savior’s face,
To feel with sweetness His embrace,
To know no sorrow, no not a trace.
Afraid of that?

Afraid to die?
Of what?
Afraid to sing with angels, then
To praise and love and honor Him,
With life the fullest to the brim.
Afraid of that?

Afraid to die?
Of what?
Afraid to gain this glad release,
To never fear again decease,
To live with God in perfect peace.
Afraid of that?" —Author Unknown

“And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying; and there shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away” (Revelation 21:4).
