Oh Death, Why?
(A tribute to Fedelis and Hannah)
Verse 1
Fedelis and Hannah, loving and kind,
With hearts full of courage and peace of mind.
They worked every morning, they labored each day,
Building a future for their children's way.
They carried the burden, they stood through the rain,
Through seasons of struggle, through hardship and pain.
They planted good seeds with a faithful hand,
Dreaming of joy in their promised land.
Chorus
Oh death, why did you come so soon?
Why did you darken their beautiful noon?
They worked so hard, they ran their race,
With love and kindness, with strength and grace.
Oh death, why did you take them away?
Before they could enjoy a brighter day.
But I hold on tight to Jehovah's promise true,
In the new world, I'll see them anew.
Verse 2
They cared for their children with tender love,
Teaching them wisdom from God above.
Every sacrifice, every tear they gave,
Was building a legacy that time cannot erase.
Though their voices are silent, their memories remain,
Like sunshine after a season of rain.
Their love still lives in the hearts they've grown,
A precious treasure forever known.
Chorus
Oh death, why did you come so soon?
Why did you darken their beautiful noon?
They worked so hard, they ran their race,
With love and kindness, with strength and grace.
Oh death, why did you take them away?
Before they could enjoy a brighter day.
But I hold on tight to Jehovah's promise true,
In the new world, I'll see them anew.
Bridge
The grave is not forever, the story is not done,
Jehovah remembers every faithful one.
A resurrection morning is drawing near,
A day of reunion, a day of cheer.
Fedelis and Hannah, rest for a while,
Soon you'll awaken with a joyful smile.
No sickness, no sorrow, no tears to fall,
Life everlasting will welcome all.
Final Chorus
Oh death, your victory will never stay,
Jehovah's Kingdom will take it away.
The ones we love are not gone for all time,
Their names are remembered in God's mind.
So I'll keep walking and faithfully run,
Until God's wonderful purpose is done.
And there in the new world, bright and fair,
Fedelis and Hannah, I'll meet you there.
Outro
Fedelis and Hannah, your love remains,
Beyond the sorrow, beyond the pains.
Until that morning when all things are new,
We'll cherish your memory and wait for you. ❤️
