We all at times fail to do everything we could do while we're still in our Earthly body, this song is a great reflection of how we do our best for Jesus
I had a car wreck with a semi flat bed truck and was lucky that God was watching over me. This song has given me a new lease on life and to be more with God than I did. I have more days to live and this song hits that meaning.
Did I live with love and grace And dry the tears on some small face? Did I drink the sunlight in Look on loosing as a win? Did I take the highest road? Did I repay the debt I owed? Search me, search me now I pray and wash my every sin away Before the purple sunset skies Before the carpe diem dies Before I close my eyes to sleep and pray Dear Lord, my soul to keep Before I reach the end of day I've got to know I've walked Your way Before the darkness shades the ground Before the sun goes down Did I keep my word today And mean the things you heard me say? Did I make sincere amends with those I wronged, my kin and friends? Did I seek to be more real And verbalize the pains I feel? Did I think on what is good And help my brother when I could? Before the purple sunset skies Before the carpe diem dies Before I close my eyes to sleep and pray Dear Lord, my soul to keep Before I reach the end of day I've got to know I've walked Your way Before the darkness shades the ground Before the sun goes down As I reflect, I must confess that I might not have past some test And I fell short in everything For my poor flesh is limiting And I regret my whole life through I did not spend much time with you But if there's time and one more breath And one more hour of daylight left Before the purple sunset skies Before the carpe diem dies Before I close my eyes to sleep and pray Dear Lord, my soul to keep Before I reach the end of day I've got to know I've walked Your way Before the darkness shades the ground Before the sun goes down
