When Death Has Died

When death has died,

and is no more,

When I shall awake,

on the Golden Shore,

That Stinger pulled,

From grievous death,

When my new body,

Draws eternal breath,

When sin has struck,

Its final blow,

God's true love,

I shall fully know.

On that blessed day,

Grieve not for me.

Give sorrow no hold,

For I am free.

R.K. Dennis, 2002
