Death No Longer Has A Hold On Me Poem by Royston Allen

I was dead and in sins sepulchre lay
And then I heard the voice of Jesus say
'Come out from the dead', and I came to Him
and stood at the cross wrapped in all my sin

He washed me in His blood so pure and clean
I was made the cleanest I'd ever been
Sins linen bands He removed from my soul
and I stood before Him restored and whole

Come witness the miracle that took place.
Here stands a poor sinner saved by His grace
For the Holy Spirit has quickened me
and the power of Jesus set me free

The grave no longer gloats in victory
It's been conquered by the King of Glory
and Death no longer has a hold on me
now that my Lord Jesus has set me free

Written after reading John 11: 17-44
