Forasmuch as it hath pleased Almighty God
Of his great mercy to take unto himself
The soul of our dear brother here departed
We therefore commit his body to the ground
Earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust
In sure and certain hope of the Resurrection to eternal life
Through our Lord Jesus Christ
Who shall change our vile body
That it may be like unto his glorious body
According to the mighty working
Whereby he is able to subdue all things to himself
Almighty God, the cosmic G
With mercy infinite, He set one free
Soul ascended, no time for mournin'
Brothers, stay strong, this life's borrowin'
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Return to the Earth, it's ancient rust
Ascend with hope, without no fear
Waitin' on that resurrection cheer
Descended low, risen again
The Jesus flex, our faith sustained
Vile bodies break, but souls don't perish
Recreated fly, like God almight'
Earth to earth, the rhythm of life
Resonance ancient, cuttin' like a knife
From dust we came, and now we see
The afterglow, eternal destiny
Through struggle and peace, through pain and joy
Know the body's asleep, but the soul employs
The realms unseen, beyond our view
An evolution of spirit, brand new
And in this hope, our strength remains
In gratitude, we'll sing His praise
With humility, our hands we fold
For what is lent, His to control
