Death to be Destroyed

In rising he set the stage
when he returns all will be fulfilled
the last enemy to be defeated
death itself to be destroyed

The coming of eternity
no longer walking on this earth
holy streets of gold
in the new Jerusalem

Raised from the death
never to know such pain
reclaimed by our creator
that we may live with him
