We see the words on marble stone
Three words for those who are deceased
Advice to those who now are gone
Three words of comfort: “Rest in Peace”
For most cannot attain that goal
Their anxious thoughts have kept them bound
While outer things consume their soul
Until they’re buried in the ground
But hear that quiet, inner voice
With healing words it wants to give
That urges us to make the choice
To rest in peace while we yet live!
