CRUCIFIED WITH CHRIST
WHEN I LOOK BACK AT WHAT I THOUGHT WAS A LIVING
I'M AMAZED AT THE PRICE I CHOSE TO PAY
AND TO THINK I IGNORED WHAT REALLY MATTERED
BECAUSE I THOUGHT THE SACRIFICE WOULD BE TOO GREAT
BUT WHEN I FINALLY REACHED THE POINT OF GIVIN' IN
I FOUND THE CROSS WAS CALLING EVEN THEN
EVEN THOUGH IT TOOK DYING TO SURVIVE I 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 SUFF'RING I IDENTIFY
AND BY HIS RESURRECTION POWER I'M ALIVE
AND I WILL OFFER ALL I HAVE SO THAT HIS CROSS IS NOT IN VEIN
FOR I'VE FOUND TO LIVE IS CHRIST AND TO DIE IS TRUELY GAIN
