[Verse 1]
Here I lay upon my dying pillow
'Round my bed I see those tear-dimmed eyes
They're watching the saddest thing that can happen
They're seeing a sinner as he dies

[Chorus]
As death's cold shadow hovers o'er me
To all 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

[Verse 2]
No one knows until they have to face it
Just how bad a sinner's death can be
I'm facing it now as I live over
All those things that I allowed to master me

[Chorus]
As death's cold shadow hovers o'er me
To all 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

[Verse 3]
I'm ashamed of things that have passed o'er me
As I lay here hoping for the best
When you look upon my face, have pity
For a worried soul can never rest
[Chorus]
As death's cold shadow hovers o'er me
To all 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
