Lyrics If I Have To Die - Amy Grant

If I Have To Die

Do you have a heavy heart?
'Cause you try to play the part
Of a life that you don’t know
And now it’s scaring you?
'Cause you’re saying all the right words
But no one’s ever heard
The voice that’s crying out
Inside your heart…
Saying, please don’t make me die for you
I’ve gotta make you see
That there’s a part of me
I never want to lose
But if I have to die for you
Somehow let me see
That you’re more than words--
I need a glimpse of you
But it sunk the church again
And the habit to pretend
Is stronger than you knew
Look how it’s ruling you
But it’s friends you try to blame
Oh, I’ve done it just the same
'Cause it’s easier than answering to Him
You think that they’re playing games
And leave and never act the same
And you don’t want a part of their show
Yes, you think there’s something more
But not inside these holy doors
Well, what are you looking for?
Yes, we have to die for Him
That’s the struggle, don’t you see?
'Cause it’s the hardest thing
You’ll ever have to do
But no, it’s not impossible;
He’s been waiting so long for you
But don’t be afraid--
He knows the pain
Because He had to do it
For you, for you…
