Verse 1 We all are dust, yet loved by you, You know our frame so well. Our life is like a passing breath, A story none can tell. When death arrives, the thoughts all fade, The busy hands grow still; No voice is heard, no plans are made, No memory or will. Chorus Just a sleep, not forever, For you remember all. In your time, through your power, The silent ones you’ll call. From the dust, from the shadows, They’ll rise to morn’s first light, To a world made new in justice, In love and truth and right. Verse 2 The soul that sins will surely die, Yet mercy shines above. You sent your Son to pay the price, A ransom born of love. So those who rest within the grave Are precious in your sight, Their names are written in your book, Awaiting dawn’s first light. Chorus Just a sleep, not forever, For you remember all. In your time, through your power, The silent ones you’ll call. From the dust, from the shadows, They’ll rise to morn’s first light, To a world made new in justice, In love and truth and right. Verse 3 We hold this hope within our hearts When loved ones fade away, We know that in your perfect time They’ll see the Kingdom day. Reunion tears will fill our eyes, But none from grief or pain, For death itself will pass away, And life with you remain. Bridge You number every tear we shed, You see each aching heart. You promise in your faithful word, The dead will soon restart. Final Chorus Just a sleep, not forever, For you remember all. In your time, through your power, The silent ones you’ll call. When graves release their treasured ones, In joy we’ll stand amazed, And lift our faces to the sky, Your holy name now praised.
