Oh Death

Oh death once had us Yoked to you in slavery From our wickedness And rejecting the only true God We built idols of stone and wood But there was no response When calling out Oh death you once had us That we would put trust in the stargazers To tell us of the future And believe those Who are considered To be the most wise of man But these foolish thoughts Are from this world below And doesn't comprehend The beauty of your love And your plan from above Oh death you once had us To believe That all sinners are all going to Hades That there is no hope for the bad With the mindset That we are good And the bad will be cast Into the lake of fire Well oh death You have lost your sting Jesus has placed You under his feet It is finished Death could not hold him to earth The yoke has been broken Jesus with his breath Has sent the spirit of fire Across this earth To burn away the oldman That was born to this world For Jesus I ask you To keep my old man here In the lake of fire And mold and purify me Of all my impurities That by your will I might be made acceptable And receive the seal of life That one needs To enter your Kingdom That I shall become less each day And more of you

Jesus is the Light and the way. He has won victory over death and freed us from the shackles of sin. We should leave our old self behind and become new in God ! Very pious thoughts, greatly inspiring, dear Stephen !
