Forever Sleep

Afflicted, made my grave here with the wicked
Left me bruised for my iniquities
I spent my whole life my own way

All we like sheep gone astray

My heart may fail
My flesh may subside
But you′re my strength, my love, my portion
My home, my shelter

Wipe all tears from their eyes
No more pain, no more crying
Former things have passed away
And now I believe you will raise up all of those who fell asleep
So to die is to gain

As I have sworn in my wrath
They will not enter my rest
Lest all hold firmly, approach the throne

Neither death nor life
(Nor death nor life)
Neither angels or kings
(No principalities)
Nor things now or to come
(No powers no things present)
No height no depth nor any creature
(Nor any other created thing)
Can separate us from your love
Now take me in your arms!

Flesh revealed to sight, righteous might
Vindicated, justified
All proclaim waiting for the reign
Here revealed a mystery
More than fall into a slumber
We will all be changed

Let go of all this selfish pride and this desire to die
And be made alive

Wipe all tears from their eyes
No more pain, no more crying
Former things have passed away
And now I believe you will raise up all of those who fell asleep
So to die is to gain

My heart and flesh may fail, but you're my evermore
Cover under your wings all those who I adored
And as the dust returns I will be with you in paradise
Let your hearts not be troubled but believe in me
I have a home prepared that one day you will see
I′ll take you to the place where you'll sleep forever

Sum up all times I've failed
That will all disappear in my forever sleep
I′ll see you when I sleep
Blessed now and forever
