Tribute to Teresa

Blessed are those who die in Christ,
who wake in the arms of God's Son;
when they depart this sinful earth,
their journey has just begun.

I don't know what to say, my friend,
the words won't leave my tongue,
to try to give you comfort
at the loss of one so young.

But know you'll be together soon,
the Rapture's not far off,
when Jesus calls us to our Home,
no matter how they scoff.

Teresa will be there smiling,
and waiting to hold you close,
inviting us to join her there
with all the heavenly host!

Therefore, being always of good courage, and knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord--for we walk by faith, not by sight--we are of good courage, I say, and prefer rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord. (2 Corinthians 5:6-8)

Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His godly ones. (Psalm 116:15)
