Death To Life

Who can really live on borrowed time When death is constant on your mind Trying to disprove eternal beliefs Amidst this tragedy will you experience relief The clock is ticking while time runs down You will see yourself being put in the ground Six feet is the depth where your corpse will leave no scent Maggots and worms feast on your flesh, now you see what God has meant From the dust you were created and to the dust you shall return If you were to pass through the furnace how long will it take for your body to burn Your ash to be scattered and carried by the wind You have passed from death to life, delivered from sin The time has come, a new body to be given Allowing the dead to now walk with the living
