Two years ago today, Dwayne celebrated his 73rd birthday on earth and also started living in his eternal home in heaven. One of my friends recently wrote as she shared about her husband's death that I have lifted and customized:
On February 14, 2019, Dwayne peacefully passed from the land of the dying to the land of the living...
What a blessing to know that even as we miss him being with us physically, that his life has not ended.
On today's service from our church in Irving, TX, the song "Christ our Hope in Life and Death" spoke to me:
Christ Our Hope In Life And Death
What is our hope in life and death?
Christ alone, Christ alone.
What is our only confidence?
That our souls to Him belong.
Who holds our days within His hand?
What comes, apart from His command?
And what will keep us to the end?
The love of Christ, in which we stand.
O sing hallelujah!
Our hope springs eternal;
O sing hallelujah!
Now and ever we confess
Christ our hope in life and death.
What truth can calm the troubled soul?
God is good, God is good.
Where is His grace and goodness known?
In our great Redeemer’s blood.
Who holds our faith when fears arise?
Who stands above the stormy trial?
Who sends the waves that bring us nigh
Unto the shore, the rock of Christ?
Unto the grave, what shall we sing?
“Christ, He lives; Christ, He lives!”
And what reward will heaven bring?
Everlasting life with Him.
There we will rise to meet the Lord,
Then sin and death will be destroyed,
And we will feast in endless joy,
When Christ is ours forevermore.
