Oh Lord, hold them close now
Chase the fear man imparts
While man's sin steals a heartbeat
All are safe in Your heart.
As anguish stabs each spirit
May hope now arise
To somehow see with your eyes
That each life never dies
Man's hatred might destroy
In anger, cruel fight,
Tearing up what You value
In the blindness of their night.
But Your mercy gift is endless
Your secret is true peace,
In Your love that is forever
Calming questions, angry pleas.
May All suffering know Your presence
May chilling feelings flee
Creating comfort in the turmoil
As we bow before Your knee.
The children now are safe
Each held within Your hand,
The Angels are now holding them
In love they understand.
Restore hope for tomorrow
Still the screaming in Your love
Sustain all by your power
Dear Father with enough.
In the brokenness and heartbreak
Wash the sorrow in Your peace
You are loving every darling
Eternal life for them is sweet.

You truly are closer to them now, than before,..
and how you may ask,---
'cause they are now spirit and spirit is closer,
where they are now safe,
They will never leave you nor break your heart.
Physically there now is a gap,
'tween when you will be with them.
But, one of you has to go to heaven first,
they are waiting for you there, but without any sadness,
for they are complete and with you still..
They will never see you suffer nor die-
God knows they need to be saved from that hurt,
God knows, you can bear the grief and heartbreak,
that they never will. You love them that much.

1 Corinthians 15:42-44, 53, 54
The body that is sown is perishable,
it is raised imperishable;
it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory;
it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power;
it is sown a natural body,
it is raised a spiritual body.
If there is a natural body,
there is also a spiritual body
For the perishable must clothe
itself with the imperishable,
and the mortal with immortality.
When the perishable
has been clothed with the imperishable,
and the mortal with immortality,
then the saying that
is written will come true:
Death has been
swallowed up in victory
