Jesus, you have been
found by those
who did not seek you,
you have shown yourself
to those
who did not ask for you.
Though heaven and earth
will pass away,
your words will not pass
away.
But as for mortals, we
turn back to dust--
it happened even to
Moses.
When we mourn those
taken from us,
comfort us with your promise
that the end of our
mortal life is not
the end of our life with
you.
