O Death lyrics
VERSE 1
O death, where’s your boast
Where’s your glory
What of your pretension
Have you left
Foolish was your pride
And vain ambition
You tried and were found
Wanting in the end
CHORUS
All you did was all you
Could and yet it failed you
For Jesus rose and sank
You to the grave
And in resurrection
I refuse to fear you
O death, you died
And I’m alive instead
VERSE 2
O death, where’s your bite
Where’s your triumph
Quickly how the tables
Turned, it seems
You must’ve thought that
Friday sealed your victory
But Sunday came and
Trampled on your scheme
CHORUS
All you did was
All you could
And yet it failed you
For Jesus rose and
Sank you to the grave
And in resurrection
I refuse to fear you
O death, you died
And I'm alive instead
BRIDGE
All you meant for evil
God destined for my good
Kill my body you could
But still I’ll live on forever
And when I should
Breathe no more
Louder then I’ll sing for
Death you are the wide door
To where I’ll live on forever
(In the presence of my Savior)
CHORUS 2
Thank you Jesus for
The way that it is finished
Thank you Jesus for
The way that it is done
Thank you Jesus for
The \way of Your salvation
O Jesus, for Your
Death defying love
