Death came knocking at my door.

               Thinking my days had reached their end,

               death came knocking at my door,

               as if I were some long lost friend.

               But I had things to do and say,

               and somehow managed to keep him at bay,

               both of us knowing he'd be back some day.

 

               And so, he returned like a thief in the night

               to knock down my door and snatch me away,

               thinking he had won the day.

               But this was a date I was destined to win,

               as another door opened to welcome me in.

               Not because I had earned my place,

               but because of His amazing grace.

 

               "By grace are you saved through faith,

               and that not of yourself,

               it is the gift of God."

 

               Another door waits for me

               to enter for eternity.
