A Sinner's Death (I'm Dying)
ROY ACUFF
Here I lay upon my dying pillow
Round my bed I see those tear dimmed eyes
They are watching the saddest thing that can happen
They are seeing a sinner as he dies
As death's cold shadows hover o'er me
To old sinners I plead with my last breath
Don't shun the Word of God that's what I've done
And tonight I'm dying a sinner's death
No one knows until they have to face it
Just how bad a sinner's death can be
I am facing it now as I live over
All the sins I allowed to master me
I'm ashamed of things that passed before me
As I lay here hoping for the best
When you look upon my face please remember
A worried soul can never rest
As death's cold shadows hover o'er me
To old sinners I plead with my last breath
Don't shun the Word of God that's what I've done
And tonight I'm dying a sinner's death
