The Cause Of Christ
Song based on the Bible verse:
Matthew 16:24
Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.
Matthew 28:16-20
16 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had appointed for them. 17 When they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some doubted.
18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.

The only thing I want in life
Is to be known for loving Christ
To build His church to love His bride
And make His name known far and wide
For this cause I live
For this cause I’d die
I sur-render all
For the cause of Christ
All I once held dear
I will leave behind
For my joy is this
Oh the cause of Christ
2
He is all my soul will prize
Regardless of the joy or trial
When agonizing questions rise
In Jesus all my hope abides
For this cause I live
For this cause I’d die
I sur-render all
For the cause of Christ
All I once held dear
I will leave behind
For my joy is this
Oh the cause of Christ
Jesus my Jesus
For Your glory for Your name
Jesus my Jesus
I will only sing Your praise
|3x|
For this cause I live
For this cause I’d die
I sur-render all
For the cause of Christ
All I once held dear
I will leave behind
For my joy is this
Oh the cause of Christ
For my joy is this
Oh the cause of Christ
3
It is not fame that I desire
Nor stature in my brother’s eye
I pray it’s said about my life
That I lived more to build Your name than mine
