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
