I Fear Death

Death 5/24/20
As I approach eternity,
The ones I love assure me
Of life everlasting,
Of Christ standing over me

I fight off the cords of terror,
Slow my breathing,
Listen to the music playing,
Take in what I can while I can.

A lifetime of memories
Flit past my eyes....
My children surround me
My friends pray over me

My body is shutting down
Wear and tear of a lifetime
The pacemaker is slowed
My breathing grinds to a halt

The world fades
My eyes fail me
Panic takes me
This is it

Please be real
Please be real
Please be real
Plea—

My eyes again open
To see the Lord my God
I stand accused
Of a lifetime of sin

I open my mouth in protest
But there are no words
I try to stand
But there is no strength

I feel myself being dragged
To be thrown into the fire
I take in what I can while I can
Before the pain begins...

“Stop! I know him!
He is my son
Whatever he owes you
Put it on my account!”

The voice of my savior
Who I’ve known all my life
Thunders above my own thoughts
He is real

Oh, if I had strength to stand
If I had strength to laugh
If I had strength to speak
Even to look into His eyes

“Well done, my good and faithful servant
Welcome to the place where you belong”

Emmanuel, my Jesus
Lifts me to my feet
I fall into his arms
Crying in relief

“All my life I prayed
All my life I pleaded
Lord, I believe
Help my unbelief”
