Story behind the song
I heard this story about a logger in the Northwest that had to cut his own leg off with a chain saw to save his own life. As a Christian I say I want to live for Christ but my actions show other wise. I want to live with that kind of desperate passion to truly live in and for Christ as much as the logger wanted to live.
Lyrics
I Want To Live By Lonnie Crampsey I know Lord, I haven't given up my life And I'm not sure why I have this desire To cling to things that break, to things that break Your heart And things that just cause you pain Why do I alienate myself from you (chorus) I want to Live Oh Lord I need Your Peace So I will cut myself off from the things that keep me from You Cuz I want to live Lord I want to live Lord I feel sometimes, like I'm much like the rich man When I'm consumed by wealth and earthly pleasure In the shadow of my idols that I've put up in your place Will I follow or sadly walk away Why do I alienate myself from you (chorus) Bridge Lord Let your blood flow trough me Til I'm completely changed And though I know I don't deserve You Lord come and have your way (chorus)
