Holly Grace - To Live Is Christ Lyrics

Oh I've been living in this bondage
For far too long, for far too long
Oh I've been working and I've been serving
My own desires, a slave to sin

Thought I'd find freedom, thought I'd find bliss
Within this world, apart from His
But I found sorrow and I found emptiness
What life was this, what life was this?

So I'll trade this life for the life you offer
Through your sacrifice

Life for life, and death for death
Lord you gave your life that I might live again
So I will die, die to my sin
And be raised to life
To live is Christ to die is gain

The life you offer is so much better
Than all this world has to give
Through your forgiveness you offer freedom
And it starts right now and never ends

So I'll trade this life for the life you offer
Through your sacrifice

Life for life, and death for death
Lord you gave your life that I might live again
So I will die, die to my sin
And be raised to life
To live is Christ to die is gain

Oh I'm baptized by your Holy Fire
I am put to death and then raised to life
Oh I'm set free from the chains that tie
My soul to the grave for death is a lie

So every knee will bow and every tongue confess
In your victory, in your faithfulness
For there's none I know who did rob the grave
Other than my Lord on that glorious day
So I will proclaim

Life for life, and death for death
Lord you gave your life that I might live again
So I will die, die to my sin
And be raised to life
To live is Christ to die

Life for life, and death for death
Lord you gave your life that I might live again
So I will die, die to my sin
And be raised to life
To live is Christ to die
And I will be raised to life
To live is Christ to die
And be raised to life
To live is Christ to die is gain
