“Do not let your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in Me. In my Father’s house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you. If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself, that where I am, there you may be also.”
In the shadow of the cross you were
and yet you said, “don’t let your heart
be troubled.”
You took the time to prepare us on earth
and let us know there would be brighter days.
I believe.
I believe you went there for me.
I believe.
I believe in brighter days.
I believe.
You’ve already gone there for me.
There’s a place with my name on it.
Heaven’s ready glory days.
When I was a pastor, I would often read this passage at funerals. It offers great hope in Christ.
