The End of the Journey

歌詞

Passing through sin and decay, enduring the tribulations The final hour is at hand, soon meeting all those who went before Weary of this life, of everything that it offers The journey is at its end, soon reclaiming the final prize Beaten, broken and chained, Cursed, spit upon and defamed Those too good for this world Now fallen but still risen For those who are washed by the blood of the Lamb, death is victory Embraced by glory, rejoicing in the afterlife, for the journey has come to its end In sickness and in capture, some tortured and murdered Being faithful unto death, and receiving a crown of life Not denying the One who has shed His blood for us Through these tests of faith, now reaching the goal Beaten, broken and chained, Cursed, spit upon and defamed Those too good for this world Now fallen but still risen For those who are washed by the blood of the Lamb, death is victory Embraced by glory, rejoicing in the afterlife, for the journey has come to its end The righteous man perishes at the hand of evil, and no one takes it to heart; Faithful and devout men are taken away, while no one understands that the righteous is taken away, to be spared from harm. He enters into peace through death; they rest in their graves, each one who walked uprightly, who followed God’s will, living with integrity. Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his faithful servants. Isaiah 57:1-2, Psalm 116:15
