Music Monday: O Death
I’ve recently discovered “People & Songs”. Here’s “O Death”:
O death, where’s your boast, where’s your glory?
And what of your pretension have you left?
Foolish was your pride and vain ambition
You tried and were found wanting in the end
All you did was all you could and yet it failed you
For Jesus rose and sank you to the grave
And in resurrection, I refuse to fear you
O death, you died and I’m alive instead
O death, where’s your bite, where’s your triumph?
Quickly, how the tables turned, it seems
You must have thought that Friday sealed your victory
But Sunday came and trampled on your scheme
All you meant for evil
God destined for my good
Kill my body you could
But still, I’ll live on forever
And when I should breathe no more
Louder then I’ll sing for
Death, you are the wide door
To where I’ll live on forever
In the presence of my Savior
O death, you died but I’ll live on forever
O, I’m alive and I’ll live on forever
Thank You Jesus for the way that it is finished
Thank You Jesus for the way that it is done
Thank You Jesus for the way of Your salvation
O Jesus, for Your death defying love
