08. Dying To Live

First Hand
by Steven Curtis Chapman



 

 

Another case of I wish I wouldn’t have
Another promise not to let Him down again
Fighting battles in a war I thought was over
The old man of sin died a long time ago
But left behind a sinful nature deep within
So if I want to win this fight
There’s a part of me that must die
But I’m not gonna cry

‘Cause I’m dying to live
Live for Jesus
Dying to give myself to Him
And the life that He gives will be mine
If I am dying to live
Dying to live
Live for Jesus
I want to give myself to him
Gonna give up from now on I’m dying to live

Giving up what I can’t keep anyway
To gain something that I know I’ll never lose
Trading in the temporary for the eternal
And though it’s settled I’m reminded everyday
To live or die to self it’s up to me to choose
So if I want to win the fight there’s a part of me
That must die
Well I’ve said my goodbyes

‘Cause I’m dying to live
Live for Jesus
Dying to give myself to Him
And the life that He gives will be mine
If I am dying to live
Dying to live
Live for Jesus
I want to give myself to him
Gonna give up from now on I’m dying to live
