Life or Death

In the brand new day

As the mercies of the morning wake

As the daylight breaks

And the dawning sunshine hits my face

I will greet the day, greet the day

I will greet the day and sing

Thank you for another day to know You

Thank you for the breath to breathe Your name

Thank you for a beating heart to love You

Whether life or death I’ll give you praise

When the night is deep

And the endless shadows haunt my dreams

When I cannot sleep

And the earth is covered up with grief

I will teach my soul, teach my soul

I will teach my soul to sing

Thank you for another day to know You

Thank you for the breath to breathe Your name

Thank you for a beating heart to love You

Whether life or death I’ll give you praise

On my dying day

When the angels come to call my name

When my spirit wakes

And I burst through resurrection’s gates

I will rise again, rise again

I will rise again and sing
