Enter In

Nothing chills the heart of man

Like passing through death's gate

Yet to him who enters daily

Death's a glorious fate

Dearly beloved we are gathered here

To be a holy bride

And daily cross death's threshold

To the holy life inside

Enter in, enter in

Surrender to the Spirit's call

To die and enter in

Enter in, find peace within

The holy life awaits you, enter in

The conflict still continues

Raging deep within my soul

My spirit wars against my flesh

In a struggle for control

My only hope is full surrender

So with each borrowed breath

I inhale the Spirit's will for me

To die a deeper death

Enter in, enter in

Surrender to the Spirit's call

To die and enter in

Enter in, find peace within

The holy life awaits you, enter in

If mourners should lament

Let them weep for those alive

For only when my will is killed

Can my soul survive
