The Sure Battle

A set of Christian lyrics I wrote to the tune "The Foggy Dew".

I lived in death, I drowned in dark
In a pit I could not climb
Life was all a lifeless story
Where no real meaning lied.
But now I own
A hope that's sown so surely in His love
For Christ laid down His life a fount
So I'll be with Him above.

I'm passing by but minutes here
A second of the story
I'll battle on till comes the dawn
Of Christ's eternal glory
For what have I
To fear but Thy great power and awesome being
So in this war my life is Your's
And so to You I'll cling

And when I walk through pearl gates
And stand on streets of gold
The brightest sight will ever be
My Savior to behold.
For all my worth
Is laid in Thy great work and ransom paid
I can do naught but look upon
Thy loving glorious face
