Fast Asleep

I know you cannot hear me This discourse is my own There are things I've left to say to you For now they won't be known For you, the sleeping deceased You who died in faith so brave God set a watch upon your grave To guard you ‘till His day These things I've left to say to you I'll wear them on my heart The Hope of Man is coming soon And He will raise you where you are You have never slept so soundly Than in the peace that you now lie You will not taste hell where Jesus fell You're asleep; you did not die

Wow Kyle - you are asleep, you did not die! And in faith this person died knowing he will be raised by Jesus when this day comes! You write poems from your soul Kyle. Poetry hugs, Jennifer.
