Life Eternal (for a friend)


I walk up to the casket of a friend
Whose life and loves I barely even knew
And as I view his body at its end
I wonder if he knew the Savior, too.
A stranger comes and stands beside me there;
His smile is warm, his eyes are full of light.
He says "Here lies a man that really cared,
Who always strove to treat his neighbor right.
He came across as strict but ever fair.
No, as a man he was not sinless pure,
But he was intimate with God in prayer;
He loved the Savior deeply to be sure.
            He has a life eternal with the Lord:
            His faith in Christ was where his wealth was stored."
            ~~~~~~~~~~~
And this is life eternal,
that they might know Thee the only true God,
and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

John 17:3 KJV
