Sin is a furious enemy, it
Twists the heart to do evil.  There is one
Enemy yet to be faced; its name will
Strike fear into the soul of every man.
Death is his name.  Through sin he is designed
To separate, tearing the body and
Soul asunder; there is no escape but
We can defeat him.  In faith we have our
Hope, no more living in the despair of
Unrighteousness; believe on the blood of
Jesus, who died that death might not survive.

~.~

Defeated that enemy of darkness,
Brought life where death once prevailed.  We do not
Struggle, we submit and relinquish sin’s
Grip.  In death, we live because of Christ and
What he did; together we rise to that
Celestial home, crossing the Jordan with
Full assurance, welcomed to the Father’s
Paradise.  Free from destruction and its
Wrath; never to set foot on unhallowed
Ground again, before the presence of God.

" ... Only through submitting to death, then, will
We see ourselves fully satisfied ... "
