Live Like I'm Leaving Lyrics

I've been praying for You to come and rescue me
From this world gone astray
Seems my soul is at war with my humanity
Lord, I'm clinging to my faith

As You watch me live my days
Make me sure and strong
Let me tear down the walls
Between what's right and wrong

I want to live like I'm leaving
Like Heaven is in view
Live like I'm leaving
I will be evidence of You

Through the shadows of my past
Through tomorrow come what may
I want to live like I'm leaving
Just like I'm leaving today

I've seen people trying to live the social status quo
Surrender to the darker side
All I'm asking for the humble heart to truly know
The way, the truth, the life

As You watch me live my days
Make me sure and strong
Let me tear down the walls
Between what's right and wrong

I want to live like I'm leaving
Like Heaven is in view
Live like I'm leaving
I will be evidence of You

Through the shadows of my past
Through tomorrow come what may
I want to live like I'm leaving
Just like I'm leaving today

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
