I believe in the Resurrection. I’m sharing a hymn I love. Fanny Crosby (1820-1915) wrote this and over 7000 hymns in her lifetime, although she was blind. Perhaps you know and love this, too.

SOME DAY THE SILVER CORD WILL BREAK

Some day the silver cord will break, 

And I no more as now shall sing; 

But oh, the joy when I shall wake 

Within the palace of the King!

Refrain 

And I shall see Him face to face, 

And tell the story—Saved by grace; 

And I shall see Him face to face, 

And tell the story—Saved by grace.

Some day my earthly house will fall. 

I cannot tell how soon ’twill be; 

But this I know—my All in All 

Has now a place in Heav’n for me. 

Refrain

Some day, when fades the golden sun 

Beneath the rosy tinted west, 

My blessèd Lord will say, “Well done!” 

And I shall enter into rest.

Refrain

Some day, till then I’ll watch and wait, 

My lamp all trimmed and burning bright, 

That when my Savior opens the gate, 

My soul to Him may take its flight. 

Refrain

I believe that on December 14, 2012, the twenty children and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, CT were ushered into His presence and live in glory with our Creator and Redeemer, along with all of the loved ones who have gone before us.
