I’m Only Sleeping
Please don’t stand at my grave and weep
I’m only here to get some sleep
No more pain and sorrow
Cause there will be a new tomorrow
Where we will live forever in a paradise Earth
For Jehovah has given us a brand new birth
When you wake up tomorrow, you will see
It’s Jehovah, my Father that is taking care of me
So do not cry, please be still
I’ll wake up with a brand new thrill
To live forever in joy and peace
For Jehovah’s wonders will never cease
So please don’t cry, and feel alone
Cause I’m not here for long, I’ll soon be home
At home forever on a paradise Earth
At home forever on Jehovah’s NEW EARTH
So pay attention and you will see
There is a way to be with me
So please don’t stand at my grave and weep
I am only here to get some sleep
Isaiah 48:17, 18
This is what Jehovah says, Your Repurchaser, the Holy One of Isreal:
“I, Jehovah, am your God,
The One teaching you to benefit yourself,
The One guiding you in the way you should walk.
If only you would pay attention to my commandments!
Then your peace would become just like a river
And your righteousness like the waves of the sea.”
A special thank you to all our family and friends for all of your support.
