Special: Memento Mori ("remember that you must die")

“Memento Mori” lyrics by Toby Logsdon, performed by Crimson Covenant, copyright 2025 Toby Logsdon

The clock keeps turning, the days slip past, We build our kingdoms that never last. The mirror shows lines we can’t deny— Dust to dust, we all must die.

Memento mori—remember, friend, This life will fade, but it’s not the end. Now is the time to bow the knee, To Christ who died so willingly. Memento mori—come and see: His grace alone can set you free.

The rich and poor, the bold, the brave, They all lie down in death’s grave. But one Man rose, the stone rolled wide— And those in Him will never die.

Memento mori—remember, friend, This life will fade, but it’s not the end. Now is the time to bow the knee, To Christ who died so willingly. Memento mori—come and see: His grace alone can set you free.

So turn, while breath is in your chest, This fleeting life is not your rest. He waits with mercy still in store— But none of us can know the hour.

Memento mori—don’t delay, The Judge of all is on His way. Run to the cross, where sinners hide, Live now for Christ, the Crucified. Memento mori—this I plead: Remember death… and see your need For Christ, who conquered death indeed.
