die daily

Lyrics

Lord, show me how to love like You do,
Yeah, teach this old heart to love like You do.
I been selfish and stubborn, runnin' from Your truth,
Now I'm beggin' on my knees, Lord, make me brand new.
Chorus
Die daily, Lord, die daily to myself,
Let Your Son Jesus shine right through this broken shell.
Every chain from my past, throw it in the sea,
Sea of forgetfulness, set this sinner free.
Oh Lord, have mercy on me...
Verse 2
Cast every bad decision, every wrong I done,
Every act of defiance under the midnight sun.
Harmful habits and sins against Your holy throne,
Against my brothers, my sisters, and against my own soul.
Lord, wash 'em away, let 'em never be known.
Chorus
Die daily, Lord, die daily to myself,
Let Your Son Jesus shine right through this broken shell.
Every chain from my past, throw it in the sea,
Sea of forgetfulness, set this sinner free.
Oh Lord, have mercy on me...
Bridge (slower, spoken-sung with pain)
Take my whole life, make me a livin' sacrifice,
Holy and acceptable in Your precious sight.
No more defined by failure, no more chained by defeat,
Let Your perfect love shine through all my broken pieces...
Yeah, through these cracks is where Your glory leaks.
Verse 3
May my days bring glory, glory to You alone,
Not to my name, Lord, but to Your heavenly throne.
In the mighty name of Jesus, I lay it all down,
Take this vessel, use it while I'm still around.
Final Chorus (build it up, then resolve soft)
Die daily... yeah, I'm dyin' daily to myself,
Let the light of Jesus shine bright in my life.
Every old thing gone, buried in the deep blue sea,
Now I'm defined by Your love, Lord, settin' me free.
Have mercy... sweet mercy on me...
Outro (repeat and fade, soft and prayerful)
Amen... Lord, amen...
In the name of Jesus... amen.
