Kirk Franklin - Before I Die lyrics

Brothers and sisters I'm feelin' real good cuz it ain't over Right before I die I gotta live Live out my dreams so I can be what He planned for me not just for me but so they can see much more of Him and less of right before I die I gotta Love my enemies, forgive the past and set 'em free so I can free free up the things every blessing God has for me see it's for me, not just for you I had to learn from what I've been through I can't go through that way again be hurt by you that way again It's not the end [Chorus:] I used to be afraid to die I used to be afraid to try cause I was too afraid of knowing what failing looked like but the son came to give me life now I feel like I can touch the sky I'm ready if you're ready Get up and live right now, right now, right now right now, right now, right now, right now Get up and live right now, right now, right now right now, right now, right now, right now right now, right now, right now, right now Right before I die I gotta Change change how I think change how I speak I'm not the same so when I speak you don't hear the pain no longer weak with no one to right before I die I gotta Become more like you take up my cross to count the cost cause I was lost that's why I praise you you're the only God I don't know what they do But I know... [Chorus] So the next time you think of me and you wonder where I would be without each blessing that helped me to see life is much more than things and how you live is more than how you sing when I die what did I really mean, I mean, Say what? Say what now? As we proceed, to give you what you need somebody, anybody, everybody, scream [Chorus] Lord have mercy I told you it ain't over for you I see you livin' I see you makin' it Right before I live I have to die.
