We are all dying. It is true of the sinner, as well as the saint. We must prepare for life after death. Writing these poems comforted me when I was mourning my brother, Bruce (October 20, 1953 - November 3, 2010). I wrote Poems For the Dying 1). to encourage Christians, 2). to comfort the bereaved, 3). to make those battling terminal illnesses less fearful, and 4). to be a soul winning tool. Death creates an unexpected, soul-gathering harvest opportunity. There is life after death. Joy!

Eternal Worship
I have spent a lifetime singing about the God Who made me whole. Even as I lay here dying, a praise is ringing in my soul. He was present when I entered, and He's present as I go to the place He has prepared fo me to live eternally. How I welcome this transition from the things my eyes can see! I am listening to the weeping, but it does not hinder me because I want to join my Savior. I want to see Him face to face. I want to thank Him for salvation and for His amazing grace. I can love you all forever from my new eternal home where we'll one day be together once again. So keep living for my Jesus until your Christian race is done, and we'll worship Him forever in our new eternal home.
