Before I Die
Kirk Franklin

Brothers and sisters

I'm feelin' real good 'cause 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 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 blessings 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


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, 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 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


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, 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 now

Right now, right now


So the next time you think of me

And you wonder where would I be

Without each blessing that helped me to see


Life is much more than things

And how you live is more than how you see

When I die, what did I really mean, I mean


Say what now, say what, say what now

As we proceed

To give you what you need

Somebody, anybody, everybody

Scream


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, 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 now

Right now, right now


Let's go

Right now, right now, right now, right now

Right now, right now, right now, right now

Right now, right now, right now, right now

Right now, right now, right now, right now


Lord have mercy

I told you it ain't for you

I see you livin', I see you makin' it

Right before I live I have to die
