Death Lingers but Heaven Awaits

As he lay to rest, my heart sinks deep into my chest
He's gone

A driver, too drunk to realize the consequences
He's gone

Mind racing with the news
How can it be?

Dead? No longer breathing, no more heart beating?
I miss his laughter

The image of death lingers in my mind
I've been so scared!

Until I remember the faith in my soul
Heaven Awaits

God's grace has hold of me now
Although death still lingers
I know Heaven Awaits

Heaven awaits
There will be no death to my soul!
