As I look back |
|
On what I thought was living |
|
I'm amazed at the price |
|
I choose to pay |
|
And to think I ignored |
|
What really mattered |
|
'Cause I thought the sacrifice |
|
Would be too great |
|
But when I finally reached |
|
The point of giving in |
|
I found the cross |
|
Was calling even then |
|
And even though |
|
It took dying to survive |
|
I've never felt so much alive |
|
For I am crucified with Christ |
|
And yet I live |
|
Not I but Christ |
|
That lives within me |
|
His Cross will never ask for more |
|
Than I can give |
|
For it's not my strength but His |
|
There's no greater sacrifice |
|
For I am crucified with Christ |
|
And yet I live |
|
As I hear the Savior |
|
Call for daily dying |
|
I will bow beneath |
|
The weight of Calvary |
|
Let my hands surrender |
|
To His piercing purpose |
|
That holds me to the cross |
|
Yet sets me free |
|
I will glory in |
|
The power of the cross |
|
The things I thought were gain |
|
I count as loss |
|
And with His suffering |
|
I identify |
|
And by His resurrection power |
|
I am alive |
|
For I am crucified with Christ |
|
And yet I live |
|
Not I but Christ |
|
That lives within me |
|
His Cross will never ask for more |
|
Than I can give |
|
For it's not my strength but His |
|
There's no greater sacrifice |
|
For I am crucified with Christ |
|
And yet I live |
|
And I will offer all I have |
|
So that His cross is not in vain |
|
For I found to live is Christ |
|
And to die is truly gain |
|
For I am crucified with Christ |
|
And yet I live |
|
Not I but Christ |
|
That lives within me |
|
His Cross will never ask for more |
|
Than I can give |
|
For it's not my strength but His |
|
There's no greater sacrifice |
|
For I am crucified with Christ |
|
And yet I live |
|
For I am crucified with Christ |
|
And yet I live |
