Demise
I saw it in a vision
the day of my own death
in your arms you held me
until released my own last breath
I've been waiting for the moment
where you'll finally know what's real
that the person who really loves you
will always be your shield and seal
I placed myself between you
where entered the deadly dart
every moment I was with you
priceless till it pierced my heart
and silent is the grave
where until raised up I'll sleep
like those who went before me
until the keys unseal graves keep
Whether righteous you or wicked
all will to the dust below
every soul that is living
to the place they call Sheol
For dust are you and will return
neath the alter you will rest
until the life and resurrection calls
remain you in grave as guest
For there is a time appointed
when Christ all dead will call
aforetime it was scheduled
that this death would spread to all
I knew long before this occurred
I would place myself as shield
that your life was worth the giving
and my life would rest afield
Where I can say I loved you
until the very last
this is the Lords example
the mold from which we're cast ...
