Chorus 1

For this cause I live

For this cause I'd die

I surrender all

For the cause of Christ

All I once held dear

I will leave behind

For my joy is this

Oh, the cause of Christ

Verse 2

He is all my soul will prize

Regardless of the joy or trial

When agonizing questions rise

In Jesus all my hope abides
