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
But 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

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
