# Delivered through Death! **Verse 1** Art thou delivered unto death? He was; and still He reigns! Death only can unloose thy bonds, And snap the tightening chains. Fear not to die, for only thus The power of God can free Unto undying, glorious life, Thy spirit-ministry. **Verse 2** We die, to find that death is life, That suffering is power; That death brings victory, that our foe Is robbed of all his power; We die to rise in endless life, For evermore to be In conflict, undismayed and calm, For death has set us free. **Verse 3** Dead, yet delivered; die, O soul, Trust God to bring thee through; Wrecked on thy God, e'en death is gain. Fear nothing; die; and go Through death to prove God's mighty power To deal with such a foe; To die in faith, a risen life By faith, henceforth to know. **Verse 4** Dead, yet delivered; short of death, The power must be restrained Which else would snap self's iron bands, And break the tightening chains; So die; and dying, God will loose His power to set thee free, And thou shalt then, through Calvary's Cross, In Christ, a conqueror be. --- Meter: 8.6.8.6.D Earliest Known Publication: *The Overcomer Magazine* January 1929 Vol. X No. 1.
