Scripture

1 Thessalonians 4:16-18

Psalm 23:1-6

1 Corinthians 15:51-57

Committal

For as much as God in His infinite love and wisdom, has given us the life of _____________________ and has permitted him/her to fall asleep in Jesus, we do now tenderly commit his/her body to the earth – ashes to ashes, dust to dust – remembering that our blessed hope is in the gift of eternal life and glorious reunion of the resurrection at the return of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior.

Poem

God has not promised skies always blue, flowers always fragrant, sun shining for you.

God has not promised a life without pain, no hurts, no sorrows, nothing but gains.

God has promised that He would be true, He would be faithful and He would comfort you.

God has promised He will provide, He will walk with you, He will always be by your side.
