Lyrics

[verse]
I give up to the authority ;
I’m turning myself in.
I’m parched & hungry
from the wages of my sin.
I almost didn’t make it.
In fact I’m confident I died.
But I saw the poster & I read it.
I’m wanted dead & alive.

[chorus]
He wants me dead & alive.
The life I live ain’t me.
I am crucified with Christ.
but I’m awake & set free.
Oh I’m sure you’ve heard the talking.
Go ahead. Believe the hype.
God desires dead men awalking.
O yes I’m wanted.
Dead & Alive.

[verse]
Dear friend, if you’re not busy
It’s best if you give up.
This world will keep you dizzy
& mired up in your muck.
You’d do well to remember
you don’t ever have to hide.
Just go ahead! Surrender.
He wants you dead & alive!
