Don’t Believe It!

Some day you will read in the papers,

"D. L. Moody of East Northfield, is dead."

Don't you believe a word of it!

At that moment I shall be more alive than I am now;

I shall have gone up higher, that is all,

out of this old clay tenement into a house that is immortal

a body that death cannot touch, that sin cannot taint;

a body fashioned like unto His glorious body.

I was born of the flesh in 1837.

I was born of the Spirit in 1856.

That which is born of the flesh may die.

That which is born of the Spirit will live forever.

Dwight Lyman Moody (1837-1899)
