Death cannot long divide , For is it not as though the rose that climbed my garden wall Has blossomed on the other side ? Death does hide , But not divide ; Thou art but on Christ ' s other side ! Thou art with Christ , and Christ with me ; In Christ united still are we . Through our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior , Someday we shall be reunited , You , Dad and me .
Love , Sam & Jeff
