Dying To Live

I've been told so many times that I'm crazy 
For living for a world that I can't see 
But they don't understand that I die daily 
For the chance to see His Face and to live eternally 

When they crucified my Lord on Mt Calvary 
They thought the grave had won the victory 
But they didn't know that He already 
Conquered death and hell and He gave the world the key 

But I'm not living to die 
I'm dying to live 
I gave my heart to Jesus 
That's all I had to give 

When He wrote my name in His book of life 
It made me positive 
That I'm not living to die 
I'm dying to live
