Calmness Midst Cemetery Call

Calmness bids me as grief strives to cease Enabling sincere thanksgiving-prevalence Midst gloom, hiding serenely still while Exemplifying grace under pressure... yet Tears cannot anymore control their fall Exposing prayer of my heart for closure Recognizing heaven's victory over death* since Yon the grave is eternal bliss with the Source of life. *1 Corinthians 15:55-57 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
