Steven Curtis Chapman - Dying To Live lyrics

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]
