Remember Those Who Have Experienced Loss This Year / Christmas - It Is Not Death To Die (Cover)

Just a few days ago a dear friend of mine lost his wife to cancer. Reflecting on this, I decided to share this song (I wasn't even sure I could make it through it). This song is a song of comfort and encouragement in times of loss especially this Christmas. A reminder of the Hope we have for those who are in Christ Jesus. Thus, the whole reason Jesus was even born. May this be a blessing and comfort today as you reflected on the loved ones and friends that are with the Lord this Holiday Season.

Lyrics:

VERSE 1
It is not death to die
To leave this weary road
And join the saints who dwell on high
Who’ve found their home with God
It is not death to close
The eyes long dimmed by tears
And wake in joy before Your throne
Delivered from our fears

CHORUS
O Jesus, conquering the grave
Your precious blood has power to save
Those who trust in You
Will in Your mercy find
That it is not death to die

VERSE 2
It is not death to fling
Aside this earthly dust
And rise with strong and noble wing
To live among the just
It is not death to hear
The key unlock the door
That sets us free from mortal years
To praise You evermore

Original words by Henri Malan (1787-1864). Translated by George Bethune (1847). Music, Chorus, and alt. words by Bob Kauflin. - Sovereign Grace Music
