Tomorrow

When tomorrow starts without me,

please try to understand,

That Jesus came and called my name

and took me by the hand.

And when I walked through heaven’s gates,

I felt so much at home.

When God looked down and smiled at me,

from His golden throne.

He said, “This is eternity and all I’ve promised you.

Today your life on earth is past and here it starts anew.

I promise no tomorrows, but today will always last,

and since each day’s the same,

there’s no longing for the past.

You have been faithful, so trusting and true.

Though there were times you did some things

 you knew you shouldn’t do.

But you have been forgiven, and now at last you’re free.

So won’t you take my hand and share My life with me?”

So when tomorrow starts without me,

don’t think we’re far apart,

For every time you think of me,

I’m right here in your heart.

 

 

 

O God of all spirits and of every flesh,

who did trod down death and overcome

the devil, bestowing life on this Your

world, to the soul of this Your Servant

departed this life, do You Yourself, O

Lord, give rest in a place of light, in a

place of green pasture, in a place of

refreshment, from where pain and sorrow

and mourning have fled away.  Every sin

by him committed in thought, word,

or deed, do You as our Good and Loving

God forgive; seeing that there is no man

who shall live and sin not, for You alone

are without sin.  Your righteousness is

an everlasting righteousness, and Your

Law is truth; for You are the Resurrection,

the Life, and the Repose of Your servant

departed this life, O Christ our God; and

to You we send up glory, with Your Eternal

Father and Your All-Holy, Good and Life-

creating Spirit; both now and ever, and to

the ages of ages.            

Amen.
