To Live Is Christ - Sovereign Grace Music

Before You gave us life and breath

You numbered all our days

You set Your gracious love on us

And chose us to be saved

This fleeting life is passing by

With all its joys and pain

But we believe to live is Christ

And death is gain

To live is Christ, to die is gain

In every age this truth remains

We will not fear, we’re unashamed

To live is Christ, to die is gain

And though we grieve for those we love

Who fall asleep in Christ

We know they’ll see the Savior’s face

And gaze into His eyes

So now we grieve, yet we don’t grieve

As those who have no hope

For just as Jesus rose again

He’ll raise His own
