To Live Is Christ

To Live Is Christ

To live is Christ
And to die is gain
There is no other life
That I desire to claim
Than the life that's dead
So I might live again
No more in self to pride
For I have died

And to live is Christ
For I've been crucified
And to live is Christ

And my single thought
Is just to hear Your voice
For this I have been bought
To make my Lord rejoice
And if all I do
Is bring joy to You
Then let my life be poured
An offering to the Lord

And to live is Christ
For I've been crucified
And to live is Christ

Let my life be a fountain of Your blessing
Let my life be a fragrant sacrifice
That the hurt and bruised may know
The God that loves them so
Forever let my prayer be...

And to live is Christ
And to die is gain
There is no other life
That I desire to claim
Than the life's that dead
That I might live again
Nor more in self to pride
For I have died

And to live is Christ
And to live is Christ
For I've been crucified
And to live
Is Christ.
