"A SONG IN THE CEMETARY"  Psalm 118:17-24 by Rev. Nolan Astley

Psalm 118
17 I shall not die, but I shall live, and recount the deeds of the Lord. 18 The Lord has disciplined me severely, but he has not given me over to death.  19 Open to me the gates of righteousness, that I may enter through them and give thanks to the Lord. 20 This is the gate of the Lord; the righteous shall enter through it.  22 The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone, 23 This is  the Lord's doing; it is marvelous in our eyes.  24 This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.
