Don’t die a needless death,
as so many have before.
Don’t die a needless death
another body buried beneath the floor.
Don’t die a needless death,
when redemption’s at the door.
Don’t die a needless death,
when there’s purpose and much more.

Don’t die a needless death,
when One has come to save you.
Don’t die a needless death
when yet there’s One who loves you,
Don’t die a needless death;
Once more shall I repeat it,
Don’t die a needless death
For your life, Christ can redeem it.

The author's comments:
"Needless" meaning don't die pointlessly because you don't have to.

I know lots of people hate repetition, but in this poem I think it works very nicely. I can't find a thing to change. :)
