I May Die


I may die.
But no matter,
I will be home, in heaven.
I may die a bloody death
Screaming in pain,
But no matter…

I will never fall
The long, dark way to Hell.
Never, for the Lord is with me.
I can be pushed to the mouth of Satan's fire
But I will remain with God.
I cannot be taken.

He knows me every moment.
He will always know my pain.
He knows all about me.
I cannot be defeated,
For I am not alone.
I can never be alone.

I may be beaten, ridiculed, killed
I may be tortured
Things may happen to me that
I never could imagine
No matter how hard I try…
I do not care, not at all.

I can only trust, only know
That God rules the heavens and the earth.
Do whatever you wish;
Kill me, take me, hurt me,
Just try, any who dares!
No one can defeat the Lord.

I could be defeated alone,
But alone I am not.
I may die.
Does it matter at all?
I will be in heaven.
But so many others won't…

I hear them mocking me,
Saying I'm a pathetic fool:
I need a God to trust in.
In their arrogance they won't accept
That they can't make it alone.
I wish they would listen.

So many cruel words,
Like a smack in the face.
So many people delude themselves;
They refuse to hear the truth.
I wish they hadn't closed their minds
To the words that still could save them.

I may die, probably I will
Unless Jesus comes before then.
I have the strength to not fear death
No matter how hard it hits.
If I die, let it be with honor
That I did not take the easy way.

So many will not listen.
So many will die bloody deaths,
Screaming in unearthly pain,
Crying for the salvation they scorned.
I may die that way, what if I do?
I'll be home with the Father.

Why do so many doubt?
Why do they throw their lives away?
Why must we humans be so stubborn
That we can live without a God?
I may die, Lord, and probably will
But let one of those fools believe…
