When Death Came Knocking

When death came knocking 
I opened the door 
Just an inch mind you - just an inch 
But he wedged his foot in, and we engaged 
Then God stepped in, He barred the way 
He said, ‘You have no access here, 
she is my daughter and I have great plans for her life’ 
So we closed the door, we firmly Close the door and chose to live.                          
‘I choose to live to declare the glory of the Lord all the days appointed to me’ 
For God’s mercy endures forever!’
