Life is but a stopping place;
A pause in what's to be.
A resting place along the road
to sweet eternity.

We all have different journeys;
Different paths along the way.
We're meant to learn some things,
but never meant to stay.

Our destination is a place
far greater than we know;
For some the journey's quicker;
For some the journey's slow.

And when the journey finally ends,
we'll claim a great reward,
and find an everlasting peace,
together with the Lord.
