Death (1995)

If we were to leave this earth right now,
No more to GOD would the earth bow;

We would no longer praise GOD, or run;

None would be remembered under the sun.[1]

 

Once we die, we return to dust,[2]

This we can’t deny for it’s a must:

Sin and Satan had brought us to this fate;

We can’t do it again, it’s far too late.

 

Two thousand years ago we had no relief,

Then Jesus came and gave us belief.

Jesus left to prepare for us a home,[3]       

That there too, we may come to roam.

 

[1] ³This is an evil among all things that are done under the sun, that there is one event unto all: yea, also the heart of the sons of men is full of evil, and madness is in their heart while they live, and after that they go to the dead. ⁴For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope: for a living dog is better than a dead lion. ⁵For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten. (Ecclesiastes 9:3-5)

[2] In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return. (Genesis 3:19)

[3] ²In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. ³And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. (John 14:2,3)
