Johnny Cash - I Corinthians 15:55 lyrics

Oh Death, where is thy sting?
Oh Grave, where is they victory?
Oh Life, you are a shining path
And hope springs eternal, just over the rise
When I see my redeemer beckoning me

Oh row my ship over the waves of your sea
Let me find a safe port now and then
Don't let the dark one in your sanctuary
Until it's time to pack it in
Oh, row, row my ship
With the fire of your breath
And don't lay a broadside on
Your ship as yet blow ye warm winds
When it's chilly and wet
And don't come to soon yet
For collecting my debt

Oh Death, where is thy sting?
Oh Grave, where is they victory?
Oh Life, you are a shining path
And hope springs eternal, just over the rise
When I see my redeemer beckoning me

Oh let me sail on with my ship to the East
And keep my eye on the North Star
When the journey is no good
For man or for beast
I'll be safe wherever you are

Just let me sail into your harbor of lights
And there and forever to cast out my night
Give me my task and let me do it right
And do it with all of my might

Oh Death, where is thy sting?
Oh Grave, where is they victory?
Oh Life, you are a shining path
And hope springs eternal, just over the rise
When I see my redeemer beckoning me
