Oh, Death
Oh, death*, your reality can bring light
Of divine beauty to those in the light.
Though you’re considered as enigmatic
Your spirituality glows with truth’s light.
Your essence commenced by precious last breath
Shows God’s authority over life’s light.
Never can your sting paralyze blest faith
That shines verity of eternal light.
I can face you with peace-bliss against pain
By the security of Christ, my Light.
*1Corinthians 15:55-56 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
