Till It Kills Me

Behind the Song
Written from a place of vulnerability and honesty, Till It Kills Me articulates the inner wrestlings of death to self.
The call to Christ is a call to die.
Jesus said in Mark 8:34-35
‘Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me and for the gospel will save it.’
Though the call to die may sound morbid, it’s the sort of death is not a condemnation, it is for our good. It is a death to self, and to all that perishes, harms and enslaves.
It is a death that yields life.
The reward and hope being as 2 Timothy 2:11 puts it,
‘If we have died with him [Christ], we will also live with him; if we endure, we will also reign with him.
And so, having the same resolve as Paul in Philippians 3:10-12, we die that we might live eternally with Christ:
‘I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead.’
We pray this song would serve you as God heals, reveals and keeps you in Christ, by way of return and rest in Him.
Lyrics & Music by Trulah & Madison Ryann Ward
I saw a glimpse of my reflection, it was no match to Your perfection
I saw what I couldn't bear, reaching for glory found nothing there
But You answered when I called, came and changed it all
When You clothed me in righteousness
Just like the sun, won't You rise over me
And I'll be like water, dancing underneath
As the sun sits high, and reflects off of the sea
Won't You be my light, be my glory
Be my be my, be my glory
Be my, be my, be my glory
I can't believe this warm welcome, that I can stay here in your presence
The same hands I put behind the nail
Now receiving me, making me well
And are crowning me with life, dignity and strength
As I get to carry Your name
Just like the sun, won't You rise over me
And I'll be like water, dancing underneath
As the sun sits high, and reflects off of the sea
Won't You be my light, be my glory
(Oh oh)
Now to the King eternal, invisible immortal
The only wise God
Be honor and glory forever amen
Now to the King eternal, invisible immortal
The only wise God
Be honor and glory forever amen
Just like the sun, won't You rise over me
And I'll be like water, dancing underneath
As the sun sits high, and reflects off of the sea
Won't You be my light, be my glory
Be my be my, be my glory
Be my, my glory
If You shine, You shine
I'll shine it right back
Right back
