In Death's Grip

Death hints at a darkness Shadowed beneath Black sorrow, grief that pierces The barriers of faith Death whispers of dread Faded pain and fear Feelings so heartbreaking They’re colored in hues Of deep gray and ancient Shades of dismay Death weeps tears of desolation Dejected and forlorn Desperate to find purpose Beneath the doom and fruitless Feeling of anguish Death erases the light That twinkles so alive In the eyes of those who know Time only holds precious moments Before it is time to let go And allow death full control Death likes to think it has won But I know One who has overcome The darkness of this feared fate The destiny we all face Death, in all its dark, lonely dread Loses its sting when I remember He has been resurrected Jesus saves us from Death’s devastation I’m so thankful there is this peace That surpasses my understanding Philippians 4:7 King James Version 7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
