STEVEN CURTIS CHAPMAN lyrics - Dying To Live

(Steven Curtis Chapman)



[II Cor 4:10]



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.



[Chorus:]

'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.



[Chorus]
