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.
