To date death’s dread has failed to cease <br />Life’s brought as yet no cure <br />But as for me enwrapped in peace <br />My future’s more than sure <br /> <br />Regardless how you think or feel <br />Though shadows may appear <br />Though life as yet may seem surreal <br />Jesus holds you dear <br /> <br />Always He’s close always at hand <br />Always with love divine <br />Take heart my friend and understand <br />This perfect love is mine <br /> <br />Given by grace constant and free <br />Whilst still in shameful sin <br />Salvation came to visit me <br />And found a place within <br /> <br />Imagine wisdom at your door <br />Envisage perfect love <br />That both with you would death endure <br />And rise to life above <br /> <br />When last on earth I close my eyes <br />And deep in darkness laid <br />I’ll rise complete in Paradise <br />Through Heaven’s promise made <br /> <br />Like Christ my King Jesus my Lord <br />Potent pure and true <br />Brilliantly made, perfect restored <br />Joyful I’ll stand anew <br /> <br />I know through love what life’s about <br />I know why Jesus died <br />So rise like me cast down all doubt <br />And bid The Truth inside<br /><br />Michael P.
