Living Is Dying

"
A song the Lord gave my friend for he doesn't want anyone to know his name 
But the source of where this love, wisdom and knowledge comes from : )


Living is dying"
Your eyes tell the story of a heart being broken, tasting from yesterday's wine. You're held by the memories that hold no tomorrows, you can't seem to leave it all behind. So you're just a prisoner of your own conversation, still looking for someplace to hide. But there's no escaping a heart that's breaking when there's no One to walk by your side. 
"Chorus"
You crossed every highway in search of a rainbow through the eyes of a heart that was blind. You scaled every mountain trying to get over that wall that you never could climb. Now you say it's all over, there's no use in trying, so you just wanna lay down & die. Well this song is to tell you, that living is dying, for Jesus to walk by your side. Yeah the good Lord'll tell you, that living is dying, for Jesus to walk by your side.


He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour. Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour.
John 12:25?-?27 KJV
