Oh Death Where Is Your Sting

I say oh death where is you sting? Oh grave your victory
The silent tomb that lay's await,that men think they shall see.	
But can’t you feel the stirrings that beats within your heart?
That infiltrates your very being and becomes in you a part.
The very depths with in your soul so deep within does lie
Comes out within your spirit“ You shall live not die”
You will declare the glorious word that changes truth from sin.
And in abundance it shall come so men can live again.
Fear not the fire that will burn away infirmities
Bear with the very suffering that will set man free.
Take upon your being a selfless way to live.
So to each and every man my blessing you may give.
For life gives up the mortal to immortality
As you put off your life, you then will take on me
I shall be your mainstay. Your life be hid in me
My glory will shine forth in you so everyone can see
No more shall man be shattered by the traditions of a man 
The very word you speak will cause, man to live again
 For types and shadows of things past before you now I bring.
So you can speak unto the grave,“Oh death where is your sting!”
