I May Die

The image of demise refined,
Thus, my body was confined 
So dismal, doleful and discomfited 
Although the wicked wish went awry
But, I still weighed 'I may die'.

Suddenly, I saw my soul stalled;
After a short time, it questioned,
"Are you aghast of death?"
This question remained on my eye,
As my tears said 'I may die'.

For whether we live,
We live unto the Lord;
And whether we relive,
We relive unto the Lord
We live or die, we are the Lord. 

With this,
Confidence reported like
There is nothing worse than death
Death is assured;
Thus, we must feel 'I may die'.

You run after riches,
On the floor of the fallen men;
Remember you shall die like men,
And fall like one of the princes
What'll be your gain if you die?

Your father,
Where is he?
Does your prophet live forever?
With your power, the world is slave 
Don't you think 'if I die?'

As it was,
The body will devolve by the earth 
Whatever you call yourself;
Always remember,
'I may die'.
