GARDENS OF STONE
by Heirline
Once again death has brought us here,
To this old solemn place;
As we lay a precious loved one down,
Into a lonesome grave;
The family has gathered 'round,
To say their last goodbyes;
But surely there are memories,
That won't be left behind.
And like the seed that comes alive,
In the ground they have been sown;
They wait for His return
To this garden of stone.
One day when Jesus calls my name,
He knows just where I'll be;
The dead in Christ shall live again,
For all eternity.
With those alive here on earth,
They'll be gathered around God's throne;
And there won't be any gardens of stone.
Jesus asked, "When I return,
Will I find faith on earth?"
And with the hope of His coming,
We place our loved ones in the dirt;
In granite we've etched their names,
To stand the test of time;
These markers here reminds us,
That a child of God here lies.
But one day they'll not be needed,
For death will not be known;
When He calls them forth,
From this garden of stone.
One day when Jesus calls my name,
He knows just where I'll be;
The dead in Christ shall live again,
For all eternity.
With those alive here on earth,
They'll be gathered around God's throne;
And there won't be any gardens of stone.
No we won't need any gardens of stone!
