Death Is But A Passageway

When I have left this earthly shore,
I pray you happy be,
For I shall be in pain no more
When I'm beyond the sea.
For death is but a passageway
And Christ awaits at the door,
And I've been longing for the day
When I shall see my Lord

I do not wish my life to end,
For I have much to do,
Good times to spend with family and friends,
And to work finish, too.
But when it's time to pass that door,
I know I'll have no fear,
I'll be accompanied by the Lord,
Who'll wipe away each tear.

We Christians know we need not fear
How death may come or when,
Our Christ walks with us each day here,
And our Salvation is bought

If you have come to say goodbye
To this, my earthly shell,
Be glad for me an do not cry
I now in heaven dwell
And I am safe with Christ my lord
And in His arms I rest
My eartly time and life are over,
But now my soul is blessed.

For death is but a passageway,
And Christ waits at the door,
And I've been longing for the day
When I shall see my Lord.
