You Can Live Without Him Lyrics - Singles - Mullins Rich

Rich Mullins 

Ephesians 2, John 3:1-21 

Oh, and you better run 'cause His love is catching you 

And you're scared that when it does its gonna break through 

You build your house of dreams behind a wall 

That no one could penetrate 

And you leave yourself no escape 

No chance to be made new 

Oh, and you better stand with your fist clenched to the sky 

'Cause open handed you're afraid of what you may find 

You've got it all or so you want to think 

But anyway you'd much rather pretend 

It's too much to run the risk 

When you can simply close your eyes 

And you can live without Him 

You can live without Him if you want 

You can turn your back on music 

Turn your back on love 

Tuck your tail and run 

'Cause you're good at looking down, never seeing a thing 

You're good at being touched and never feeling 

You're good at sitting in the midst of a music that's never heard 

But you're not as good at living as you thought you were 

But you can live 

(You can live without Him) 

If that's what living is 

(You can live without Him) 

Death would be such a gift 

Oh Lord, let me die that I might find my life in You 

You can live without Him 

You can live without Him if you want 

But that is so much less 

Than any life that I could ever choose 

Oh, and you better fill the empty spaces with some noise 

'Cause if you look too squarely at the facts 

You might have to make a choice 

You'd better put off 'til tomorrow 

Maybe then you'll be more in control 

Somehow tonight this feeling 

Stole into you and left you soiled 

Oh, and you throw it off before you see beyond the day 

There may very well be more 

But not right now, don't let it in 

And if you don't let it root 

You'll never have to let it make you grow 

It's more life than you want to know 

So shut it down again 

And you can live without Him 

(You can live without Him) 

You can live without Him if you want 

You can turn your back on music 

Turn your back on love 

Tuck your tail and run 

'Cause you're good at looking down, never seeing a thing 

You're good at being touched and never feeling 

You're good at sitting in the midst of a music that's never heard 

But you're not as good at living as you thought you were 

But you can live 

(You can live without Him) 

If that's what living is 

(You can live without Him) 

Death would be such a gift 

Oh Lord let me die 

That I might find my life in You 

You can live without Him 

You can live without Him if you want 

But that is so much less than any life 

I could ever choose
