How will you die?


Deuteronomy 30-32

How will you die?  Oh, to die with a song on our lips and a melody in our hearts. That is how we find Moses dying this morning.  Do you have a favorite song that embodies your faith in the Lord, maybe an old hymn like “The Old Rugged Cross” or “Amazing Grace” or a more contemporary one like “I Can Only Imagine”? When it comes time to see our last glimpse of earth and be gathered into eternity, it would be well to go with a song in the air.

I can remember once in my life, a quater a century ago, the horror of an emergency room on full alert with the loud calamity of man and machine recording what I believed to be my death.  I could taste the terror.  An angel knelt down beside me and began to sing softly in my ear:

Jesus loves me this I know
For the Bible tells me so
Little ones to Him belong
They are weak but He is strong.
Yes Jesus loves me!
Yes Jesus loves me!
Yes Jesus loves me!
The Bible tells me so.

Thanks Baby!!!

That’s a good song to die with or even thinking your dying with.

How will you die?
