Is death the only course that’s left?
Could life not lead to hope?
Or is the grave, life’s longed for cleft?
For those who fail to cope
Death’s hand may squeeze us like a grape
Till dried up bones we find
How sad so many won’t escape
Because their eyes are blind
Believing death is endless night
The grave eternal peace
Sinful souls imagine delight
That all life’s pains will cease
The grave reveals a sad surprise
For those in Satan’s snare
Soon after death they’ll realise
The Truth was found elsewhere
The Truth The Life The only Way
In found in Jesus Christ
Is found by those who seek today
Through God’s Lamb sacrificed
The grave’s a simile of the womb
Where bones may lie in rest
But unlike sinners in a tomb
We’ll rise eternal blessed
We’ll reach salvation’s far off shore
Be free of life’s alarms
In death we’ll find The Father’s Door
Leading to Jesus’ arms
The rest will rise to find defeat
Although to live again
To stand before God’s judgement seat
Before eternal pain.....
