ITS TIME TO LIVE

Sitting on the edge of my bed 
With suicide in mind 
The cords of death grips my soul 
I cannot see no light insight 
With darkness all around me 
And feeling alone 
I'm heading for destruction 
This is it I can't take no more 
But you were there 
Holding me close 
And whisper in my ear 
I've paid the cost 
I died that you might live
And all your sins I have forgiven 
It's time to live 
In the shadow of the night 
A man sits in his car 
A loaded gun to end his plight 
His thoughts drifted afar 
As he put the gun to his head 
And try to squeeze away 
The trigger jammed long enough 
And he heard the master say
I am here holding you close 
And whisper in his ear 
I paid the cost 
I died that you might live 
And all your sins I have forgiven 
It's time to live..
