I No Longer Live
A song about missions
I heard Gilberto singing this song in Portuguese on YouTube and contacted him about making an English version. His original video is linked on the page. We worked together translating it to English and Rhesa helped make the recording. - Elton, July 3, 2024
(Verse 1)
The fields are ready
For the harvest my brothers
The workers they may be few
To come and plow the ground
The love of many has grown cold
Their hearts have turned to stone
But Christ speaks into our lives through missions
Through missions, through missions
(Chorus)
I no longer live but Christ lives in me hallelujah
I no longer live but Christ lives in me
I no longer live but Christ lives in me hallelujah
I no longer live but Christ lives in me
(Verse 2)
Souls are thirsty
For words of truth from God
We're sent as salt upon the earth
Reflections of His light
From darkness we can hear their cry
The anguish of their hearts
But Christ speaks into our lives through missions
Through missions, through missions
(Repeat Chorus)
I no longer live but Christ lives in me hallelujah
I no longer live but Christ lives in me
I no longer live but Christ lives in me hallelujah
I no longer live but Christ lives in me
