At peace singing a new song
Scripture
When the perishable
has been clothed with
the imperishable, and the
mortal with immortality,
then the saying that is written
will come true:
“Death has been swallowed
up in victory.”
Where, O death, is your victory?
Where, O death is your sting.”
-1 Corinthians 15:54-55
