John Waller Album: While I'm Waiting Track: Dead Man Walking
Dead Man Walking Lyrics
I am a dead man Sure as I'm living I am a dead man Though I am breathing I'm dead and gone This is my song I'm a dead man walking, singing
I am crucified with Christ No longer I live Now the life in me Is only in Him I am seated with Christ I'm not coming back All my life I've never been so alive I am crucified, I'm crucified
Now every day my Reason for living Is now in dying My life surrender I'm dead and gone This is my song I'm a dead man walking, singing
If we try to save our lives We will lose them, we will lose them If we lay them down and die We will find them By grace through faith in Christ alone Come and sing the dead man's song
No longer I live Now the life in me Is only in Him Now I'm seated with Christ I'm not coming back All my life I've never been so alive I am crucified, I am crucified I am crucified I'm a dead man walking I am crucified, I am crucified I am crucified I'm a dead man singing
Song Description: ""I am crucified with Christ, no longer do I live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body I live by faith in the son of God who loved me and gave himself for me.' - Galatians 2:20. I decided to take that truth and put it into a song. The Chorus pretty much says that verse. It is a rocking song. It is one that people won't easily forget." - John Waller
