OH DEATH YOU'RE DEFEATED

Bro.Philip Verghese 'Ariel', Secunderabad

Oh death you come like an angel

You are like a physical obsession

you wander through the dark silent night

To snatch away the better ones

Oh, I am in deep turmoil, sad and morose

My heart is wailing for my dear one

Whom, you took away in that silent night

Even before his ripe of age, you took him off

Oh God how sad and morose I am

I couldn’t fully enjoy his love and care

His concern for others are unfathomable

He led many to your marvelous light

Yes, he led an exemplary life to follow

He was a gem among thousands

I feel like shouting ‘God I hate you’,

You’ve done injustice to us and to many

When I thought this unwanted thought,

Suddenly my mind recollected your words

The marvelous ones in the Scripture

Lord, I feel guilty for my unwanted thought

Lord, You are just and do every thing good,

Especially to the one who loves you

Oh Lord I know your love toward us

It’s too unfathomable to my understanding

Yes Lord, You wants him to be with You forever

Yes Lord he fought diligently and finished his race

He led many to your kingdom through his word and deed

Yes Lord, he finished his race with a remarkable mark
