Life Goes On
©1997 Lewis Greer/Gary Dugan

Slowly the crowd leaves the new grave behind
And as they make their way to the cars
A few stop to chat to remeber their friend
And to tell just how sorry they are
They smile at the stories of the good times they have shared
Their friend's not forgotten, just gone
Then someone remarks that it's time they went home
Because it's true what they say - life goes on

No, the world doesn't stop turning
And we don't stop learning
About pain and sorrow and love
Sometimes people leave us and we feel so alone
But it's true what they say - life goes on

Slowly eyes start to open as new light shine in
A light that brings comfort and peace
Life isn't over for a Christian gone home
Just this part of life has now ceased
We know that the power of the grave is now broken
And the painful sting of death is now gone
Because man's mortal body can put on forever
We rejoice in this truth - life goes on

Someday the world will stop turning
But we won't stop learning
About joy and wonder and love
The Son of the promise has the victory won
Because Jesus died once life goes on

Someday the world will stop turning
But we won't stop learning
About joy and wonder and love
The Son of the promise has the victory won
Because Jesus died once life goes on
Because of Jesus our Lord life goes on
