this is an amazingly beautiful song...i would highly recommend you go and listen to it...
i like the idea here. i think too often christians think about salvation as something that happens after death...as if this life weren't worth the time of day. but really? if the physical world wasn't important, we wouldn't be here. if we could live inside salvation every day, while we're here...doesn't that just seem more meaningful than keeping a tally list of good works or number of masses attended, or any number of other things so that once we drop dead, we'll have a ticket to "real" or "eternal" life? we are already in the midst of eternal lives...our souls are alive now, tied to our physical bodies so that we can recognize our spirituality. that's my thought for the day. that, and that i think you really, really should go listen to this song...it's gorgeous.
Before I Die
Written by Roma di Luna, 2005
From our debut album "The Face of My Friends"
I work so hard, nearly every
Break my back to put money away
But just you wait I'm gonna leave this place
Before I die
There is a place, in my love's arms
Keeps me safe and far from harm
And its in that place I'm gonna spend some time
Before I die
You say you're worried about your dirty past
I say it's harder always looking back
You got to be free from all of that
Before you die
I have joy, and I have peace
Forget this world and all its greed
I left it all to be redeemed
Before I die
Take me home; take me there
Give Him my burdens and all my cares
Oh precious savior
Oh take my soul
Before I die
I work so hard nearly everyday
I break my back to put money away
But just you wait
I'm gonna leave this place
Before I die
