Haste the day O Lord
When You shall return to me

Release me of this life
So that I may live a new one

My soul sings Your holy name
By body exalts Your blessed word

Like others before me
You breathed life into my being

I will be ready
When You taketh my last breath

For two weeks I felt a desire to write a song of praise for the Lord. I knew if I waited the words would come to me. In church today they finally did.

I attempted a formal meter (number of syllables) as follows:
5-7, 6-8, 7-9, 6-8, 5-7

James 5:19-20 Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him;
Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.

What can I say except "Thanks be to God?" Death is not a threat nor a mystery anymore thanks to the Son of Man.
