Album: Life Is Good
Did I live with love and grace,
And dry the tears from some small face?
Did I drink the sunlight in,
And look at losing as a win?
Did I take the highest road?
Did I repay the debt I owed?
Search me, search me, now I pray
And wash my every sin away!
Before the purple sunset skies,
Before the carpe diem dies;
Before I close my eyes to sleep and pray,
Dear Lord my soul to keep.
Before I reach the end of day
I've got to know I've walked your way—
Before the darkness shades the ground, before the sun goes down.
Did I keep my word today,
and mean the things you heard me say?
Did I make sincere amends to those I wronged, my kin and friends.
Did I seek to be more real
And verbalize the things I feel?
Did I think on what is good
and help my brother when I could?
Before the purple sunset skies,
Before the carpe diem dies;
Before I close my eyes to sleep and pray,
Dear Lord my soul to keep.
Before I reach the end of day
I've got to know I've walked your way—
Before the darkness shades the ground, before the sun goes down.
As I reflect I must confess
That I might not have passed the test.
And I fell short in everything,
For my poor flesh is limiting.
And I regret my whole life through
I did not spend much time with you.
But if there's time and one more breath,
One more hour of daylight left—
Before the purple sunset skies,
Before the carpe diem dies;
Before I close my eyes to sleep and pray,
Dear Lord my soul to keep!
Before I reach the end of day
I've got to know I've walked your way—
Before the darkness shades the ground,
before the sun goes down.
