Face To Face

FACE TO FACE

by HELEN STEINER RICE



ALL WHO BELIEVE IN GODS MERCY AND GRACE
WILL MEET THIER LOVED ONES FACE TO FACE
WHERE TIME IS ENDLESS AND JOY UNBROKEN
AND ONLY THE WORDS OF GODS LOVE SPOKEN.





FOR THIS WE DECLARE TO YOU BY THE WORD OF
THE LORD, THAT WE WHO ARE ALIVE, WHO ARE LEFT
UNTIL THE COMING OF THE LORD , SHALL NOT
PRECEDE THOSE WHO HAVE FALLEN ASLEEP.
FOR THE LORD HIMSELF WILL DESCEND FROM
HEAVEN WITH A CRY OF COMMAND, WITH THE
ARCHANGEL'S CALL, AND WITH THE SOUND OF
THE TRUMPET OF GOD. AND THE DEAD IN CHRIST
WILL RISE FIRST; THEN WE WHO ARE ALIVE, WHO
ARE LEFT, SHALL BE CAUGHT UP TOGETHER WITH
THEM IN THE CLOUDS TO MEET THE LORD IN THE AIR;
AND SO WE SHALL ALWAYS BE WITH THE LORD.
THEREFORE COMFORT ONE ANOTHER WITH THESE WORDS.



I THESSALONIANS 4:15-18







YOUR INNOCENCE WILL BE CLEAR TO EVERYONE.
HE WILL VINDICATE YOU WITH THE BLAZING LIGHT
OF JUSTICE SHINING DOWN AS FROM THE NOONDAY SUN.
