What will I bring to God on the day that I die? A life filled with pleasure or a life crucified? Did I die to self so that sin would not reign? A crown awaits those who ran the race, not in vain
If I died with Christ, eternal life, I’ll acquire To delight in His Presence is my heart’s desire Eternity will prove true all the words in God’s book Rewards without end, for all who believed and partook
When faith becomes sight, and we walk the streets of gold The sites we see will be much greater than foretold We’ll wish we did more for God in our time on the Earth No suffering can compare to our God’s great worth

Romans 6:5-8 – “For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we will certainly also be united with him in a resurrection like his. 6 For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin—7 because anyone who has died has been set free from sin. 8 Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him.”
1Corinthians 1:18 – “For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.”
Galatians 2:19-21 – “For through the law I died to the law so that I might live for God. 20 I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. 21 I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!”
Galatians 5:22-26 – “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. 26 Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.”
Romans 8:18 – “I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.”
