(Final): As it is, so let it be

 

Anything with a beginning must have an end. In all times, therefore, we must be prepared for any eventuality. The earlier we accept this, the easier it becomes to deal with what comes our way. In this final piece, I wish to share snippets of one of the most powerful lyrics and song that has kept me going.

You can watch the original music video on YouTube here

 

Whether now or then
Death is not my end
I know Heaven waits for me

Though the road seems long
I'll never walk alone
And I got all I need to sing

I know You love me
I know You found me
I know You saved me
And Your grace will never fail me

And while I'm waiting
I'm not waiting
I know Heaven lives in me

Should I suffer long
This is not my home
I know Heaven waits for me

And though the night is dark
Heaven owns my heart
And I got all I need to sing

   ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

So I will sing like I will there
In the fearless light of glory
Where the darkness cannot find me
And Your face is all I see

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

Oh I will sing like a man
With no sickness in my body
Like no prison walls can hold me
I will sing like I am free

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

I'll sing Holy, Holy
My heart, cries Holy
As it is, in Heaven
It is in me

;;;;;;;;;;;;

We'll sing Holy, Holy
The earth, cries Holy
As it is, in Heaven
So let it be

As It Is (In Heaven) lyrics © Hillsong Music Publishing Australia

To allude to the opening post in this series, we must individually find our unique way of dealing with losses – whether material or otherwise. And we have to let go of our deepest fears and worries. For life is too short to spend every minute worrying about things we have no control over. Our greatest assurance is that regardless, God is always in control. When we let Him steer us, His grace remains sufficient. 

And that brings me to the end of this tribute series. This was in honor of the departed souls; the memories shared with them; the family and friendship bonds created; and the life lessons learnt through them. We are forever indebted.
