HE SANCTIFIES OUR DUST

We have succumbed to Devil’s lie
And think we are like grass–
In daylight grows and then will die,
     And all of it so fast.

But we have been mistaken here
For we forever live;
When we know this we shed our tears
     And ask God to forgive.

For our hearts long to live with Him
    Who sent His Son to us;
We’re born with Him in Bethlehem
     Who sanctifies our dust. 

Then we will on to glory go
     As we are changed inside,
And ever after we will know—
     In Him we all abide.
