Verso 1

If I rise let me rise on You
Not on all my successes
My esteem or my pursuits
If I lose let me lose my life
Cause if I belong to Jesus
The flesh is crucified

Refrão

For me to live is Christ
For me to live is Christ
For me to live is Christ
To die is gain

Verso 2

If I grow let me grow in You
Wilt the seeds of wanting more
Ripping pride out by the roots
If I'm still let me hear You speak
Not the tone of my transgressions
But the song of the redeemed

Refrão

For me to live is Christ
For me to live is Christ
For me to live is Christ
To die is gain

Ponte

My great desire is to be with You
But this is the place You chose for me
This is the place You chose for me

Ponte

To lift my cross and give everything
This is the time You gave to me
This is the time You gave to me

Refrão

For me to live is Christ
For me to live is Christ
For me to live is Christ
To die is gain

Refrão 2

I'll never be the same
I'll never be the same
For me to live is Christ
To die is gain
