“Because I live, you shall live also” (John 14:19).

We need these seven words above to help us to endure

The changing world around us that’s dark and insecure;

To help us view the present as a passing episode,

A troubled, brief encounter on life’s short and troubled road.

For the fact that life’s eternal because our Savior died

And arose again at Easter after He was crucified

Makes this uncertain present, in a world of sin and strife,

Nothing but a steppingstone to a new and better life!
