Mitch Wong's song reflects on the Christian concept of dying to self to find new life in Christ. Drawing from biblical themes like the necessity of a seed falling to the ground, the lyrics speak of letting go of what fades to become a new creation. The song emphasizes that resurrection follows burial, and that God's love is more powerful than death. It encourages faith in the promise of joy after sorrow and points to Christ as the ultimate reward. The message is one of hope and transformation through surrender.

VERSE ONE
To die is gain
No resurrection comes without a grave
The sun descends before another day
The path You have to me
It is the same
It is the same

CHORUS
God I?m letting go
Of everything that?s fading
Trading in the old
I?m a new creation
It?s no longer I who live but Christ
Open up my eyes
There?s a miracle after the burial
There?s a miracle after the burial

VERSE TWO
The seed must fall
Before the bud, the bloom, the beautiful
And tears may last the night before the joy
My faith is pressing on to the reward
You?re my reward

BRIDGE
You?re miracle after the burial
For no grave can hold
Your love all-powerful
You are making all things bright and beautiful
You?re alive in me
You?re alive in me
