For the Cause (Live / Sing! 2019 Edition)
[Verse 1]
For the cause of Christ the King
We give our lives, an offering
’Til all the earth resounds
With ceaseless praise
To the Son

[Verse 2]
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

[Verse 3]
For the King once lifted high
To cries of rage, of ‘crucify!’
Endured the cross
As every sin was laid
On the Son
[Verse 4]
To the King who conquered death
To free the poor and the oppressed
For lasting peace
For life and liberty
In the Son

[Chorus]
Christ we proclaim
The Name above every name
For all creation
Ev’ry nation
God’s salvation
Through the Son

[Verse 5]
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]
Christ we proclaim
The Name above every name
For all creation
Ev’ry nation
God’s salvation
Through the Son
Christ we proclaim
The Name above every name
For all creation
Ev’ry nation
God’s salvation
Through the Son
