Philippians 1:21-23
For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain. But if I go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me. So what shall I choose? I do not know. I am torn between the two. I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better indeed.

strains against Philippians 1:21-23
Paul's hope of heaven rests in assurance of Christ; here 'heaven' reads more as vague relief or death-longing than settled hope in God.
“He lived for Jesus, unafraid to die”

resonates with Philippians 1:21
Paul's own words about living for Christ and gaining through death are the clear echo here; the song holds up that same posture as admirable.
