I have no real fear of death
Yet no welcome there will be
For while I live I am alive
and there then within
my heart of hearts
is the greatest
love of life

Every moment
to then make precious
Every memory
to then hold dear

All the beautiful expectations
of all the wonderful tomorrow's
All the overwhelming hope
of all that still remains

Let death occur
as God has chosen
I then resisting
until the final end

I have no real fear of death
Yet no welcome there will be
For while I live I am alive
And there then within
my heart of hearts
is the greatest
love of life.
