When I first learned this verse, I searched to see if it meant what it seemed.  To me it is wonderful.  Even if I die, my prayers for loved ones left behind is still in God's protective hands. 

In the midst of the angels arose Smoke of incense from golden bowls Scent of perfume so sweet Drifting around the throne seat Seat of the Lamb who was slain Forgiving, loving For His death Who is not to be blamed What is the meaning of the golden bowls From which the sweet perfume of incense arose The answer is written in Revelation 5:8 The prayers of the saints is what it states Whether alive or met our fate God hears, keeps our prayers Pray, it is never too late Pray for loved ones, enemies, leaders on earth Even for those who have not yet seen birth For God remembers prayers for they have worth Prayers of praise, thanks, sadness, weeping Prayers are forever in safe keeping When death has come and taken us away Our prayers in the golden bowls will stay written June 16, 2017
