Boldness

Looking, I cannot find
The threat that so easily filled my mind
Where is your sting, O Death?

Recalling, I cannot seem
To fully remember that frightening dream
Where is your sting, O Death?

Finding that you have been conquered
You shall never reign here
Finding that you have been conquered
And my Lord wipes away every tear

Singing, I can lift my voice
As Courage and Strength control my choice
Here in His presence is Life

Dancing, I always shall be
Behind the all-powerful walls of victory
Here, in praise, O Life!
