Death Shall Claim No Victory

Death shall claim no victory Death shall claim no victory humbling my soul For I will rage and roar against the cold dark grave Defying the final coffin shrouding embrace, Knowing my soul will not be trapped, entombed With body rotting within the earth, feast for maggots Grave marked with headstone in field of repose. Death shall never break my faith in God's love Nor tremble my soul with fear and weep the eyes For Jesus Christ promised those who believe in him Shall never die with soul passing beyond the grave Entering through death the gates of Heaven, Where repentant sinners mingle with angels. Christ's love sets souls free from death's curse, With all bathed eternally within God's dazzling light.
