i'm going to die today.
all my past,
all my troubles,
will be so far away.

i'm going to die today.
and i'll never worry
about this evil
that led me so astray.

i'm going to die today.
but don't be sad,
don't you cry,
this is a happy day.

i'm going to die today
will you be there
and come with me?
it really is the only way.

i finally died today
died to evil,
died to flesh,
died to this world.

i layed down my pride,
welcomed in change,
accepted final love, and
I WAS BORN TODAY

Good shock effect, glad it was death to sin, and born again to newness of life.
