Lonely Tombs
Eternal Echoes: Reflections from Lonely Tombs
Lyrics
I was strolling one day in a lonely graveyard
I was walking in a lonely graveyard.
When a voice from the tomb seemed to say
A voice from a tomb seemed to speak to me.
I once lived as you lived walked and talked as you talk
The voice claims to have lived a life similar to mine.
But from earth I was soon called away
The speaker was taken away from Earth.
Oh those tombs (oh those tombs) lonely tombs (lonely tombs)
The lonely tombs express a message in a soft tone.
Seemed to say in a low gentle tone
The tombs convey a message about the sweetness of rest.
Oh how sweet (oh how sweet) is the rest (is the rest)
The rest is described as sweet in our heavenly home.
In our beautiful Heavenly home
Every voice from the tomb seemed to whisper and say
Every voice from the tomb warns that the living must follow.
Living man you must soon follow me
The living must eventually join the deceased.
And I thought as I looked on those cold marble slabs
The speaker reflects on the cold and lonely nature of the graves.
What a dark lonely place that must be
The graveyard is perceived as a dark and lonely place.
Then I came to the place where my mother was laid
The speaker reaches the place where their mother is buried.
And in silence I stood by her tomb
The speaker stands in silence by the mother's tomb.
And her voice seemed to say in a low gentle tone
The mother's voice speaks of being safe with the Savior in a gentle tone.
I am safe with my Savior at home
The mother is in a secure and heavenly home.
