To Die in Christ



To die in Christ for those who wait
Is when their eyes are opened
To see the beauty of His grace
And all they’ve put their hope in!

I don’t know what my house is like
My vision is not clear
But I know when I’m safe at home
There will be no more fear

I say this to encourage you
So, you won’t be afraid
To stand firm right up to the end
And face all that you dread

There’s only one more hour to work
And then we can go home
To eat the meal our Lord prepared
And never more to roam

Be strong and courageous! God loves you!
