|
As they gather at the funeral wake |
|
To speak of good times gone by |
|
The deceased soul learns some more |
|
Revealed reality, the flames of unrest |
|
"Maybe his in his next life" |
|
Sobs ma as the tears roll |
|
Unknowing the eternal destination |
|
As He awaits the judgement throne |
|
"He's at rest now" |
|
The hired celebrant proclaims |
|
He tickles all the ears |
|
While sin is exposed by the Heavenly Host |
|
Silence falls over the crowd |
|
As the casket lowers into the ground |
|
While kneeling in the Heavenlies |
|
Confessing the forsaken Lord of his life |
|
"How can God allow this" |
|
Cries sister in lament |
|
But God had other plans |
|
And revealed what this has meant |
|
You gather what you cast into this straying earth life |
|
While man has his will, the Son paid the price |
|
You turn the flesh back into dust |
|
Saying return to dust you sons of Adam |
|
Lord teach us so to number our days |
|
That we may apply our hearts to wisdom |
|
In order that we avoid the aftermath of separation |
|
Returning to the original purpose of creation |
|
So back on earth men make their claims playing |
|
"Where do they go" games |
|
While up in Heaven the creator cries as people listen |
|
To each other's lies |
