Kirk Franklin Before I Die lyrics

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
