IF I DIE BEFORE THE RAPTURE
If I die before the Rapture
bury me under a lone oak
wear your most colorful colors
join with the angels singing
Amazing Grace and Holy, Holy, Holy.
If I die before the Rapture
picture me in Glory
I’ll be waiting with open, outstretched arms
for when you come to join me.
If I die before the Rapture
write on my tombstone
“Wife, Mother, Sister, Friend
loved everyone with all she had
and more.”
write on my tombstone
“Wife, Mother, Sister, Friend
loved everyone with all she had
and more.”
If I die before the Rapture
sing in one loud voice
this one song I loved the most
my life was lived in this
‘Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus.
If I die before the Rapture
remember this one thing
God is with you all the way
He loves you more than anything.
remember this one thing
God is with you all the way
He loves you more than anything.

You never know when something someone else is going through will impact your life and what you think about. As I mentioned in my last post PASSING a dear family of ours have endured the passing of a very special lady in their family and this has had me thinking about the end of my life. About what I would want for my funeral and what I hope I leave as my legacy. May Jesus Christ be evident in our lives and may we leave a legacy that honors and glorifies Him.
