Food4thought: "Let Me Go to the Death Camps"


Let Me Go to the Death Camps
From the perspective of Saint Marica
A holocaust survivor who, despite being able to avoid the death camps, chose to go
 Death—
It’s so final.
I don’t want to die
Yet I can’t live without my friends
No… I can’t live knowing that they won’t come home.
This is about residence in eternity.
How terrible it would be if
They died passing through the gates of Hitler’s Hades
Only to reside in the real fiery pit of despair,
Where they shed tears like the night
Always flowing and filled with sorrow.
Selah
If only they knew that
Their Redeemer lives…
Then regardless of life or death,
When that evil man of Germany is done
They can see that day when
The sun refuses to shine,
Since the Light of Heaven will have returned.
I don’t want to die,
But I can’t let my people perish.
I must live among them,
So that should Death visit,
My people and I will forevermore be
Alive.
