To Live is Christ

May the fruitful labor of my life bring Glory to my King

May the life I live while I remain be a living offering

May I be a blessing and a joy unto the faith of all

May the joy of faith  bring glory as I answer the call

For to live is Christ and to die is gain

So I would live abundantly if I remain

If in Christ I die, So in Christ I Live, and live eternally

Yet not I , Yet not I -but Christ who lives in me…

I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live,

but Christ who lives in me. Resurrection life He gives.

And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in God’s own Son,

Who loved me and gave Himself for me, so my own life is undone

For to live is Christ and to die is gain

So I would live abundantly if I remain

If in Christ I die, So in Christ I Live, and live eternally

Yet not I , Yet not I -but Christ who lives in me!

Bridge-

He died for all, so that those who live  

Might no longer of themselves partake

But live for Him who died and was raised

For God’s glory and for their sake

We live and move and in Christ exist

By the new life that He brings

Now in Him and through Him and to Him

For  His Glory are all things!

For to live is Christ and to die is gain

So I would live abundantly if I remain

If in Christ I die, So in Christ I Live, and live eternally

Yet not I , Yet not I -but Christ who lives in me!

Yet not I , no, not I -but Christ who lives in me!
