Sweet death, you call but I do not answer
My line must not be free.
So many times, my number, you dial
Yet, still, you can't reach me.

This last attempt consumed my thoughts
Why am I still alive?
I haven't lived the grandest life
And somehow I still survive.

I look to see the purpose.
What task not yet complete?
I see the world around me
And in fear I soon retreat.

I realize something is missing.
I live my life all wrong.
I try to sing the Angels hymn
Yet dance to Satans song.

Conviction falls upon my heart
I feel my empty soul.
The burdens build with memories
I lived out of control.

I fall upon my weary knees
I know all things must change.
I give my life to God above
My world to rearrange.

I find there is no waiting list.
No forms which must be filed.
I asked forgivness for my sins
And God, upon me, smiled.

I'm thankful I can live again
And see through christian eyes.
Gone are shadows of my night
Along with Satans lies.

So death I found my purpose.
God had it all along.
And when he tells you to call me home
We will all sing victories song.
