Dying to Live Songtext
von 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

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

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

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
