Glory, not Death - Poem by Raymond A. Foss

God reconciles us
brings us to Him
through the blood of the Christ
by rising with Him

Glory, not death
is God’s final word
the victory in Christ
already won

To be faithful
to wait for the King
filled by the Spirit
that we may believe

To go into the world
witnesses, with power
to share the holy message
every day, every hour
