The glorious thing about walking by faith in Jesus -- death has lost its power. So MercyMe has decided, why not poke a little fun at it while we're at it?
Doing his best to encapsulate how a fun song talking about death came about, Lead singer Bart Millard tells us a little bit about the song here.

Showing that the band has not lost any of their humor or spiritual impact in their songwriting, here is MercyMe with the video for "Oh Death".
“He will swallow up death forever. The Sovereign Lord will wipe away the tears from all faces; He will remove his people’s disgrace from all the earth." -Isaiah 25:8 NIV
"Oh Death" Lyrics:
You said my fate was sealed
You said my days were numbered
Case closed with no appeal
My future’s 6 feet under
Messing with my head in ghost fashion
My heart was holding its breath
Terrified of taking my last one
Oh death you scared me to death
Oh you ain’t my King though
Oh where did your sting go
Oh death
I will not be afraid
In the end you will lose
I will dance on your grave
With the one who buried you…
You ain’t nothin’ but a stone
That my Savior rolled away
Set you straight and set me free
Oh death you are dead to me
My faith don’t flinch at your wrath
Devil go’on get off of my shoulder
You thought you had the last laugh
You thought this song was over
Oh you ain’t my King though
Oh where did your sting go
Oh death
I will not be afraid
In the end you will lose
I will dance on your grave
With the one who buried you…
You ain’t nothin’ but a stone
That my Savior rolled away
Set you straight and set me free
Oh death you are dead to me
Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of you
I know I’m just passing through
