Melanie Hart: Music & Lyrics

From Melanie Hart's book A New Thing: The Stories Behind the Music..."Oh believer, let’s get on with the task at hand, receive His reinstatement for active ministry today and get on with following Jesus! Let’s roll… Let’s go where He takes us, even in the face of exposure, danger, or persecution, wherever and how ever you serve Him. And, may we boldly and unashamedly say “to live is Christ alone!”

Philippians 1:19-21, “For I know that this will turn out for my deliverance through your prayer and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, according to my earnest expectation and hope that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death. For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.”

To Live

When my hope was all gone, you cared.
When I just about gave up the fight,
You gave me a reason to live.

When my love was all spent, You were there
Expended upon the cross, extending your love to my heart.

Now to live is Christ alone
And to live is laying it down anytime, anywhere for Him!
And to live is the expectation and hope that you’ll give me the courage to stand
Living life in You is to live!

When I wandered away from your heart, You cared
Waiting for me to lay all my burdens on You once again,
When I turned from my sin, you were there!
Surrendering to You again knowing that the only way!

Is to live in Christ alone!
And to live in laying is down anytime, anywhere, for Him
And to live in the expectation and hope that you’ll give me the courage to stand
Living life in You… Living life in You…

Repeat Chorus

Living life is You… is to live!
