Exodus 3:7-10 • “Then the LORD said, "I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters. I know their sufferings, • and I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land to a good and broad land, a land flowing with milk and honey, to the place of the Canaanites, • And now, behold, the cry of the people of Israel has come to me, and I have also seen the oppression with which the Egyptians oppress them. • Come, I will send you to Pharaoh that you may bring my people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt.”
“.” - Bernard S. Via Jr.
CANAAN • The soul of man never dies – 43 times “eternal life”. • My darkest night will turn to day • Revelation 21:4 – “He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”
ROSE • A rose is blooming there for me. • John 14:2-3: “In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also.” • I will spend eternity.
Beams across the foam • It shines to light the shores of home. LOVE - LIGHT
My life will end in deathless sleep. • And everlasting joys I’ll reap. SLEEP
To that fair land, • Where there will be no parting hand… • I’M ON MY WAY
Tell everybody I’m on my way • New friends and new places to see • With blue skies ahead yes, • I’m on my way • And there’s nowhere else • That I’d rather be. ‘Cause there’s nothing like seeing Each other again No matter what the distance between And the stories that we tell will make you smile Oh it really lifts my heart. • I’M ON MY WAY
No sad farewells • No tear-dimmed eyes • All is peace, joy, love • FRIENDS
