Greetings of Death
Embracing Life's Final Call: Confronting the Greetings of Death
Lyrics
It has been appointed once for a man to die
Death is inevitable and a part of human existence, a universal appointment.
But after this the judgement
After death, there is a judgment awaiting each individual.
Once the appointment has been made
Once the appointment for death is set, it cannot be altered.
Nothing can be done to change it
Regardless of human efforts, the inevitability of death cannot be changed.
No need to be afraid of the greetings of death
Encouragement not to fear the experience of death.
Will you be wrapped in the chains of torment?
Raising the question of whether one will suffer in the afterlife.
Or pass from life unto death?
The choice between continuing in life or transitioning to death is posed.
The power of death knows not one
Death is a force that affects everyone, regardless of power or status.
But to live you must die
To experience life fully, one must confront and accept the inevitability of death.
Life is for those who have offered their lives
Life is meant for those who willingly sacrifice or dedicate their lives for a greater purpose.
To live is Christ to die is to gain
Connecting life with a commitment to Christ, suggesting spiritual gain in death.
Are you afraid to die?
Questioning whether there is fear surrounding the idea of death.
Don't be afraid
An explicit reassurance not to fear the experience of death.
Of the greetings of death
Reiteration of the encouragement to face death without fear.
