The Bravest Death
The Bravest Death
The bravest death; to die for Christ:
Unglamorized, but not unnoticed.
Before the Lord, enemies wilt,
And death’s piercing sting not felt.
Though braggart towers upward rise
And man’s dominion increases,
The thought of perishing for nought
Is woe, the greatest fear of all.
Christ’s heavenly gift surpasses
The spoils of earthly dominance,
Whereas cowards raft adrift at sea
Their souls bartered for such treasures.
Strength comes with the belief in Christ
To know your death is not final.
