I wish I could die...to myself!



(Chorus):

Cut me up,

throw me 'round,

nail me to a cross.

to live is Christ.

To die is gain,

to live is Christ.

To die is gain,

to live is Christ.

Not my blood,

not my breath,

my flesh, my lust, my greed.

To die is gain,

to live is Christ.

To die is gain,

to live is Christ.



I'm a child of God,

but twasn't always so

I had a father, the father of lies

Corrupt in my desires,

darkness filled my eyes



(Chorus):

Cut me up,

throw me 'round,

nail me to a cross.

to live is Christ.

To die is gain,

to live is Christ.

To die is gain,

to live is Christ.

Not my blood,

not my breath,

my flesh, my lust, my greed.

To die is gain,

to live is Christ.

To die is gain,

to live is Christ.



Remnants of this old man

still try to appear

Claiming to be mine

Take a hammer out

and nail the coffin shut

I want to die!



(Chorus):

Cut me up,

throw me 'round,

nail me to a cross.

to live is Christ.

To die is gain,

to live is Christ.

To die is gain,

to live is Christ.

Not my blood,

not my breath,

my flesh, my lust, my greed.

To die is gain,

to live is Christ.

To die is gain,

to live is Christ.

(Philippians 1:21, Romans 8:15, John 8:44)
