To Die Is Gain
#NewMusicFriday folksy love song
Happy New Music Friday everyone! Today’s new release is a little folk country tune inspired by Philippians 1:21: “For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain” — but with more of a romantic twist. The sentiment arose out of many a conversation Katie and I have had, praying our story ends peacefully, at the same time, as we’re ancient (I’d be ok with 130) and holding hands in the same bed, like the (spoiler alert) ending of “The Notebook.”
Listen to this week’s #NewMusicFriday tune, “To Die Is Gain” below. Let me know what you think and please share with your loved ones!
Stay tuned next week for “Stranger Strangers”! God bless,
Sean

Lyrics:
Life is tough as a tack and hard as a nail
So I’m prone to flights of fancy and climbing tall tales
And all that’s anchoring this hot air balloon
Keeping me from flying off too soon
Is knowing that you need me like I need you
To die is gain,
there’s too much trouble on this here plane
To die is gain,
but that’d cause you too much pain
I want to live forever so’s that I’s can stay for your sake
And get a glimpse of heaven, while I’m in this place, in your face
To live is to love you
To die is gain
You’re so melancholy, I’m so blue
Oh, it’s oh so overwhelming, what do we do?
Well, seal up those teary fountains
For faith can move these mountains
But I do believe we’ll be climbing ‘til our days are through
To die is gain,
there’s too much trouble on this here plane
To die is gain,
but that’d cause you too much pain
I want to live forever so’s that I’s can stay for your sake
And get a glimpse of heaven, while I’m in this place, in your face
To live is to love you
To die is gain
One fine morning when this life is over
I’ll be there to help you through the door
In this world, we’ll grow frail and old
But in the one to come, I can hold you forevermore
No more tears, no more sorrow, nor pain
To die is gain,
there’s too much trouble on this here plane
To die is gain,
but that’d cause you too much pain
I want to live forever so’s that I’s can stay for your sake
And get a glimpse of heaven, while I’m in this place, in your face
To live is to love you
To die is gain
