Thread Name: Origins: Will the Circle Be Unbroken
Subject: RE: Will the Circle Be Unbroken
KEES -It is an "alter call" song. It is not scripture.

When the opportunity to accept Christ as your personal Lord and Savior is presented you are given the opportunity to make a public declaration of faith by walking down the aisle before the congregation.

The opening stanza presents the scenario.

There are loved ones in the glory,
Whose dear forms you often miss;
When you close your earthly story,
Will you join them in their bliss?

Refrain

Will the circle be unbroken
By and by, by and by?
In a better home awaiting
In the sky, in the sky?

Sincerely,
Gargoyle
