In Life To Come...

God is not dead, come join the song that hope alone can sing

For His name is Emmanuel; God with us, Christ the King

And no one can afford to miss this gift, Jesus, He came

So we can be saved from our sin by power through His Name

Glad legions in the sky declared the birth of Christ the Lord

The shepherds sped to Bethlehem to see what they had heard

We, without seeing yet believe; believe that we will see

In life to come, the full proof of the love that sets us free

For God so loved the world He gave His one and only Son

To triumph over sin’s curse, death; love wept, Thy will be done

Surrendering; what awful price precipitated Hope

As He became the sacrifice, and we heirs to His home

God is not dead; come join the song that first the shepherds heard

‘For unto you is born this day a Saviour, Christ, the Lord’

Ah, no one can afford to miss this gift of hope and love

Where we, without seeing believe what life in death will prove
