The shadow of death

We live under
The shadow of death 
That always comes to steal
Many a man's breath
Why Unexpected 
Does it stun
When multitudes die daily 
Under our Sun 

Any moment
We could have an appointment
And may be soon needing
Holy annointment
Yet we are always filled
With shock and awe
When death arrives
At our door

Death puts us to sleep
Lest we live for ever
With a fallen nature
But God said never
Could he leave us
In such a state
So a flaming sword 
Did guard The Gate 

Till the appointed 
Time should come
In the fullness of times
God sent His Son
To be the resurrection 
And the life
God married heaven and earth
Come be His eternal wife 

So fear not 
For death is mercy
Unnatural 
Yet loves key
Opens the door
Who is God
Jesus Christ
Our only Lord
