lyrics

I’ll drink this cup, if it is your will
I know you’ll provide for my needs
And I’d rather die than disappoint you
A promise I’ll take to the grave

But when I die, oh, death be not proud
You take only that which I give
In like a thief and out like a king
Bearing your sting in my hands

Here on this perch, with a song to sing
That I’d like to sing with my friends
But looking down, they seem to have hid
suddenly safe to dismiss (I’m singing suddenly safe to Dismas)

But when I die, oh, death be not proud
You take only that which I give
In like a thief and out like a king
Bearing your sting in my hands

It is well with their souls
Because I’ve made it so
And all the power you hold
Is running right out of a hole in the ground where a stone was once rolled
It is well with their souls
Because I’ve made it so
And all of the power you hold
Is running right out of the holes in my hands where my saving blood flows

But when I die, oh, death be not proud
You take only that which I give
In like a thief and out like a king
Bearing your sting in my hands
Bearing your sting in my hands
You’ve got no sting left for my friends
