Shall Not Perish

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Honor them and remember them,

Though lost, they’re always there.
Fill not your memories of them
With sorrow or despair.

For that is not what they would ask

If they could speak today.
They would say live and do it well,
Lift up your hearts and pray.

Stand up for those who cannot stand

And speak for those now gone.
Declare that life’s triumphant still,
Rejoice and carry on.

A new day dawns with each sunrise

And life renews again,
For we, who live within the Lord,
Cannot be killed by man.

John 3:16
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
