Die If I Have To

[Chorus: Paul Washington]
Lord I find myself
I myself, running to no one else
'Cause Lord You are my only help
And I wasted my life probably living a lie
Lord, You made me strong and forgave all my wrong
I'll lay down my life
And I'll die If I have to

[Verse 1: Kareem Manuel]
I used to read the word to try to make excuses
If I was made first
But truth is that all men sinned
And given another chance we all would again
It's the storyline
And dawg what's be getting me
It's the Father talking to Himself right in the Trinity
Let's us make man, He knew we was gonna sin
[?]
You knew He'd give His life so we could be forgiven
You went and made man in Your likeness and Your image
God told Adam if you eat the tree then you gonna die
The serpent trick Eve, said you'd be like God
And when they saw the fruit, saw that it was good
Naturally they ate, and tragically they understood
The truth of good and evil
The knowledge of right and wrong
But He knew we would be sinful people all along

[Chorus: Paul Washington]
Lord I find myself
I myself, running to no one else
'Cause Lord You are my only help
Would of wasted my life probably living a lie
Lord, You made me strong and forgave all my wrongs
I'll lay down my life (Lord, You're so amazing)
And I'll die If I have to

[Verse 2: Kareem Manuel]
I used to read the word and try to make excuses
Could tell the love He was talkin' bout was exclusive (Only Him)
Had to give it up
You were the substitution
If I didn't, well hell would be my retribution (Well add it up)
Luke told me that I should count the cost
That's cool
I was a fool, fam I was counting the loss
Until one day, I was you as Savior
A beautiful Maker
A wonderful Creator
I know pulled the [?] off my eyes so I could see You
You was there all the time
[?]
The world told me to man up
But next to Your infinite grace, their love didn't compare much
Now I'm trippin' off the living You grant us
By giving us a system for forgiveness and scriptures and standards
I stand shocked and amazed
I saw Christ for life
Blew off the Cross and the grave
And now Lord I

[Chorus: Paul Washington]
Lord I find myself
I myself, running to no one else
'Cause Lord You are my only help
Would of wasted my life probably living a lie
Lord, You made me strong and forgave all my wrongs
I'll lay down my life
And I'll die If I have to

[Verse 3: Kareem Manuel]
This is why You're different Lord
Look
See other gods, we try to get with 'em
So you could get living to grab all you can grab (Nope)
But Your a true God
Your so different
Becoming a christian is giving all that you have
The thoughts that I have
All of visions
My intuition
My ambition
My wisdom, is passed away in the sea of forgetfulness
The greatest gift that I could have
Your my reward
My life, You ordered
Though I know Your standards, I'm be sure to fall short of
Your saving grace
Paid the way, so I could become a Saint like I played for New Orleans
The old man is gone
The new man supported
But bow before the Lord that's before him
I'll worship and adore Him

And I will, die if I have to

[Outro: Kareem Manuel]
It's all for you Jesus
Put your hands in the air
Christianity is about laying your life down
Jesus knew He was gonna lay His life down

Thanks so much
