I Do Not Die
I no longer live within myself,
I cannot live without God.
Having neither Him nor myself,
what will life be?
It will be a thousand deaths,
longing for my true life,
oh and dying
because I do not die.
I live, but not in myself,
And I live, I have such hope that I die,
because I do not die.
This life that I live
is no life at all,
so I die continually
until I live with You.
Hear me, my God,
I do not desire this life,
oh and dying
because I do not die.
I live, but not in myself,
And I live, I have such hope that I die,
because I do not die.
Lift me from this death,
my God, and give me life;
do not hold me bound
with these bonds so strong.
See how I long to see you;
my wretchedness is so complete,
oh that I die
because I do not die.
I will cry out for death,
and mourn my living
while I am held here for my sins.
O my God, when will it be
that I can truly say:
"Now I live because I do not die"?
I live, but not in myself,
And I live, I have such hope that I die,
because I do not die.
I live, but not in myself,
And I live, I have such hope that I die,
because I do not die.
I cannot live without God.
Having neither Him nor myself,
what will life be?
It will be a thousand deaths,
longing for my true life,
oh and dying
because I do not die.
I live, but not in myself,
And I live, I have such hope that I die,
because I do not die.
This life that I live
is no life at all,
so I die continually
until I live with You.
Hear me, my God,
I do not desire this life,
oh and dying
because I do not die.
I live, but not in myself,
And I live, I have such hope that I die,
because I do not die.
Lift me from this death,
my God, and give me life;
do not hold me bound
with these bonds so strong.
See how I long to see you;
my wretchedness is so complete,
oh that I die
because I do not die.
I will cry out for death,
and mourn my living
while I am held here for my sins.
O my God, when will it be
that I can truly say:
"Now I live because I do not die"?
I live, but not in myself,
And I live, I have such hope that I die,
because I do not die.
I live, but not in myself,
And I live, I have such hope that I die,
because I do not die.
