For the cause of Christ the King
We give our lives, an offering
'Til all the earth resounds
With ceaseless praise To the Son
For the cause of Christ we go
With joy to reap, with faith to sow
As many see And many put their trust
in the Son
CHORUS:
Christ we proclaim,
The Name above every name:
For all creation, Ev'ry nation,
God's salvation Through the Son!
For the King once lifted high
To cries of rage, of "crucify!"
Endured the cross As every sin was laid
On the Son
To the King who conquered death
To free the poor and the oppressed
For lasting peace For life and liberty
In the Son CHORUS
Let it be my life's refrain:
To live is Christ, to die is gain;
Deny myself, take up my cross
And follow the Son
Let it be my life's refrain:
To live is Christ, to die is gain;
Deny myself, take up my cross
And follow the Son CHORUS
