Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, with burning emotion:

“I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far…”
(Philippians 1:23)

Not better by just a little, Jesus

but to leave this earth and go to live with You
is better by far.

Christians have known that all the way back to the beginning.

So why do we struggle with it?
Why do we cling to this earth like the heathen

as though this life is all there is?

Don’t let me do that, Father!
Rise up within me, Holy Spirit –

fill me with faith
give me rock-solid confidence in the heaven that awaits

which is better
by far.
