Verse 1:
To live is Christ and to die is gain.
To suffer with Him,
I know that I shall reign in His arms,
over there, in that land bright and fair;
to live is Christ and to die is gain.

Verse 2:
To suffer with Him and to feel His pain,
to carry my cross, is the reason why He came.
Just to save my soul and to make me whole;
to live is Christ and to die is gain.

Bridge 1:
To gain my peace,
from the storms that tear my heart
into pieces, little bitty pieces,
where no love can dwell there.

To gain my robe and to gain my crown,
to live is Christ and to die is gain.

Bridge 2:
To gain my peace,
from the storms that tear my heart
into pieces, little bitty pieces,
where no love can dwell there.

Ending:
To gain my robe and to gain my crown,
to suffer is Christ,
to go through is Christ,
to live is Christ and to die is gain.

To live is Christ,
and to suffer is Christ,
to go through is Christ,
oh and to die is gain.
