Don't weep for the loved ones who made plans to go
For they have found a resting place for better than we know
In the arms of Jesus they have found their destination
If we could hear them speak, they'd say without a reservation:
CHORUS
Death is just a door to the door that is awaiting
Death is just a shadow into everlasting life
Death is often thought of as a very sad occasion
For the child of God, it's a door to brand new life.
Well, if you don't know the Lord, you'll have constant fear
For no man knows the day nor hour they'll be leavin' here.
So get your heart in order, your body, soul and mind.
Then don't worry, serve the Lord until it's quittin' time.
You'll find that
REPEAT CHORUS (2x)
Oh, Death is often thought of as a very sad occasion
For the child of God, it's a door to brand new life.
Brand new life!
