Side by Side

Side by side they lay in peace, because of Christ the King.
If not for Christ, this visit here would great hopelessness bring.

The truth is, they’re not covered up with soil or grass — it’s true.
They’re covered by the grace of God that still avails for you.

The blanket of the love of God wrapped them into His arms.
For all these years they’ve rested there, safe from all life’s alarms.

So, may this moment turn your focus from grave to skies ablaze,
Where they’re at peace and joining in heaven’s choir of grandest praise.
