O death I will be your death.
Baptism was the cleansing water that healed us from strife.
I began to defeat you with my very first breath.
And death is only a gateway to life.

We are baptised in his death.
And raised to newness of life.
This we know more and more with every passing breath.
This thought through our lifetime is is ever more closely joined like husband and wife.

Life is in the power of the mind.
Resurrection is ours to take now.
This road is easy to find.
It is ours if we allow.

Give me, I pray, freedom from doubt.
Let pain and mental and actual death, I put to rout.
