| Before You gave us life and breath
|
| You numbered all our days
|
| You set Your gracious love on us
|
| And chose us to be saved
|
| This fleeting life is passing by
|
| With all its joys and pain
|
| But we believe to live is Christ
|
| And death is gain
|
| To live is Christ, to die is gain
|
| In every age this truth remains
|
| We will not fear, we’re unashamed
|
| To live is Christ, to die is gain
|
| And though we grieve for those we love
|
| Who fall asleep in Christ
|
| We know they’ll see the Savior’s face
|
| And gaze into His eyes
|
| So now we grieve, yet we don’t grieve
|
| As those who have no hope
|
| For just as Jesus rose again
|
| He’ll raise His own |
