YOUR DEAD SHALL LIVE
Mighty nations conquer and exert their might,
They rule by sheer violence; reigning brings delight;
They forget that there is a God who looks down from heaven,
He will punish those destroy others without mercy or concern!
These nations may have their day, but their glory is brief;
They fall soon enough and their death brings some relief!
There is a God who upholds justice and He is in control;
There is no need to give in to despair when darkness enfolds.
Death seems so final- this thought brings despair!
There must be faith in God; He hears our prayers!
He gives faith and hope, He helps us see eternity;
There is life beyond this earth, stretching to infinity.
“Your dead shall live!” This was the prophet’s proclamation;
The dead will arise in that glorious day of full redemption.
This hope was made even more real when Jesus rose from the dead;
His resurrection is the first-fruits; that should make our hearts unafraid!
Inspiration: Isaiah 26:19
