Death Swallowed Up By Life

You hold him bond to fear

Conquering his heart

In vain he fights

You are present

Always in his mind

With mortality- your weapon


You shut up the mind

The body’s functions

And go on counting

The victory of the moment

You death are

The enemy of mankind


You open the door

To eternity

Heaven or hell

There man will be

Some day he will sing

Death, where is your victory?


When resurrection

Power will stand

Raising the banner of victory

Although dead, redeemed man

Will arise in a twinkling of an eye

Death, where will be your sting?


Nailed to the cross

And swallowed up by life

Death, you are conquered

By YAHSHUA, the King

For ever we will sing

No more death sting!

I have been committed to teaching the truth of the Word of God beginning with Trans World Radio on Bonaire, N.A and Swaziland, Africa (1969-1980), then through churches in the United States in both English and Portuguese and then through ministry in Israel (2005-2006). This ministry continues through local Bible studies and outreach to the world via the internet. I have written a book about my life from that of an orphan in Brazil to missionary in 5 countries.
