Before I Die Chords by Kirk Franklin

[Intro]
Gm7                     
■   Brothers and sisters
    Ebsus4                                
I'm feelin' real good 'cause it ain't over
      Ebsus4         Gm7       
Right before I die I gotta live


[Verse]
G7                
Live out my dreams
         G7                       
So I can be what He planned for me
             G7                    
Not just for me but so they can see
             G7             
Much more of Him and less of
               G7         
Right before I die I gotta
G7                              
Love my enemies forgive the past
                          G7  
And set 'em free so I can free
G7                
Free up the things
      G7                     
Every blessing God has for me
             G7                 
See it's for me not just for you
         G7                               
I had to learn from what I've been through
           G7                    
I can't go through that way again
        G7                   
Be hurt by you that way again
             Bb 
It's not the end
                       A7 
I used to be afraid to die
                       F7 
I used to be afraid to try
Cm7                     Gm7 G7 C7     
'cause I was too afraid of  ■  knowing
     A7                 
What failing looked like
        F                   D    D7
But the sun came to give me life ■ 


[Chorus]
Gm                    D7    Gm  G7 
Now I feel like I can touch the sky
             Ab7         
I'm ready if you're ready
D7         Gm  
Get up and live
      Gm 
Right now
               
Get up and live
         
Right now
D7    G7                  
Right before I die I gotta
       G7                
Change change how I think
             Ab7                   
Change how I speak I'm not the same
          Ab7  
So when I speak
    Ab7                
You don't hear the pain
          Ab7                
No longer weak with no one to
Ab7                       
Right before I die I gotta
Gm                  
Become more like you
           Gm   
Take up my cross
                               Gm  
To count the cost 'cause I was lost
Gm                     
That's why I praise you
           Ab7      D7
You're the only God ■ 


[Verse]
G7                        A7
■  I don't know what they do
                    Bb Bb7
I used to be afraid to die
          Cm7 D7 Bb           Bb7
I used to be  ■  ■  afraid to try
                 Am7       Ebm    
'cause I was too afraid of knowing
     Ebm                
What failing looked like
                         D7     
But the sun came to give me life


[Chorus]
      Gm   G7     C7            D7  Gm
Now I feel like I can touch the sky ■ 
G7                  D7    G7
I'm ready if you're ready ■ 
      G7 
Right now
           D7   G7 Gm7
Get up and live ■  ■  
      Gm7
Right now
   C7                         F 
So the next time you think of me
                             F 
And you wonder where would I be
A7      Dmaj7                           Gm 
Without each blessing that helped me to see
C7                Fmaj7 F7    
Life is much more than  things
        Bbmaj7                            
And how you live is more than how you sing
                                    A7  
When I die what did I really mean I mean


[Verse]
                      D7 G7 C7 D7  Gm G7   Gm  Dm
Say what now Say what ■  ■  ■  Say ■  what now ■ 
Gm               Gm7                          
■  As we proceed ■   to give you what you need
D7       Gm                      
Somebody anybody everybody scream
                    Am7 A7 
I used to be afraid to  die
                    Bb       
I used to be afraid ■  to try
F        Csus4 Dm7 Gm7                      
'cause I ■     ■   was too afraid of knowing
                    A7  
What failing looked like
        Bbmaj7 Bb C7      G7             
But the sun    ■  ■  came to give me life


[Chorus]
D7    G7                           
Now I feel like I can touch the sky

I'm ready if you're ready
      G7 
Right now
       G7      
Get up and live
D7       
Right now
G7      
Let's go
          G7   
Lord have mercy
              D7    Gm       Gm7
I told you it ain't over for you
      G7  C7    
I see you livin'
D7 Gm G7 Gm D7 G7
■  ■  ■  ■  ■  ■ 
      D7  Gm            Bb7     C7
I see you makin' it but you all ■ 
D7    Gm G7                         
Right ■  before I live I have to die
