Oh, death come get me now
I longed to be with you
I'm stung with all these worldly lies
Promises that not materialized.
Envelop me, oh death
Into your calming darkness
And I'll wake up into the heavens
Where forever starts to rest.
Come rescue me, oh death
I'm not so scared of you
Because I understand it now
With you I have a life anew.
It's only in death I learned,
I claim the Bible's promise,
To see God and be in paradise
Experience the endless bliss.
So now death, let's be friends
I longed for you to come
Take me away from this olden world
You are my key to see the Kingdom.
