Behold the wood that bears our name
behold the nails that hold our sin.
The tree from which salvation blooms
the death by which we're born again.
We take up our cross and follow him
we lay down our lives that we might live.
We carry the hope of Christ within
we take up our cross and follow him.
We embrace the sacrifice
and walk the path we cannot see.
The burdens of this world made light
by blood and thorn we are redeemed.
We take up our cross and follow him
we lay down our lives that we might live.
We carry the hope of Christ within
we take up our cross and follow him.
Lift him high, lift him high
let his name be glorified.
Lift him high, lift him high
let his name be glorified.
We take up our cross and follow him
we lay down our lives that we might live.
We carry the hope of Christ within
we take up our cross and follow him.
We take up our cross and follow him
we lay down our lives that we might live.
We carry the hope of Christ within
we take up our cross and follow him.
We take up our cross and follow him.
