| I figured I would need to do this one. Let's start with the title itself. Notice there are three words, not two. This is not about dying, but putting the "self" where it belongs. Jesus said that we must crucify ourselves daily. Our "selfishness" we have to hang upon the cross to follow him. His words, not mine. Luke 9:23 lays it out. I had a feeling when we wrote this song we would be questioned by alot of parents. If you look through the lyrics, you will see this song is nothing more than saying that the only way to walk with Christ is to remove sin in our lives through the power of the Holy Spirit. "...not in Kool-aid, or outer space...." referring to the Jim Jones and Heaven's Gate cult movements. That is not the death our Lord was talking about! A very powerful statement and so simple of a request. Learn it. Know it. Live it. It's not such a horrible saying after all, is it. Just like the symbol shirt, this one will give you the opportunity to share the gospel. Many people will read it and make comments. Don't be shy. A perfect time to explain it. Again, this is another allegory written song. Even though so many may not understand this, I felt a multitude would. It's got to be one of my favorite songs now. The drive behind it is unreal. Most definitely a crowd pleaser. |
Lyrics to Kill Your Self
| for you to live
you must die now's the time to take your life say good-bye
kill your self
misery loves company
embrace you not in kool-aid

dead man walking
