Dying To Live — текст песни (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.

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)
