I attended my funeral today.
My soul left my body and soared away
because I had breathed out my last breath
and walked with Jesus through the Vale of Death.

For my soul no longer needed to share
the dead body that lay in the coffin there.
For my body’s sell by date had expired
and it was empty and longer required.

A new body had been given to me
one that was equipped for eternity.
No longer subject to pain and decay
but like the one Jesus had on Easter day.

When you have grieved, I hope that you'll all see
that you and I can once more united be.
Death for a Christian is a stepping stone
and all of us shall meet before God's throne.
