Intro I lay my burdens down I hear You calling now Beyond the fear, beyond the cost I find my life beside the cross Verse 1 Lord Jesus, You said, “Come and follow Me,” Leave behind what used to be Not chasing what the world calls gain, But walking with You through the pain Every morning, every day, Lord, teach my heart to choose Your way When my own desires arise, Turn my heart toward sacrifice Pre-Chorus I don't wanna hold on To a life that's mine alone If surrender is the doorway, Lord Jesus, I'll follow where You go Chorus My Jesus, I'll take up Your cross, I'll follow You Whatever it costs, whatever You ask me to do If I lose my life, let it be lost in You 'Cause the life that I find is the life You make new Lord, I'll take up my cross, I won't turn away I'll trust You tomorrow as I trust You today My hands are surrendered, my heart belongs to You I'll follow, I'll follow, I'll follow You Verse 2 When the road is steep and long, When I can't see where I belong, Jesus, I'll remember what You said: There's a life beyond the death Let the old man fade away, Let Your mercy shape my days I don't need to understand If I'm walking in Your hands Pre-Chorus I don't wanna hold on To the things that won't remain If surrender brings me closer, I will gladly bear the weight Chorus My Jesus, I'll take up Your cross, I'll follow You Whatever it costs, whatever You ask me to do If I lose my life, let it be lost in You 'Cause the life that I find is the life You make new Lord, I'll take up my cross, I won't turn away I'll trust You tomorrow as I trust You today My hands are surrendered, my heart belongs to You I'll follow, I'll follow, I'll follow You Bridge Lord, take my plans Take my pride Take the things I've held inside Take my fear Take my dreams Make my life For You, a living offering If I must decrease So You can increase Then let my heart say yes If following You Means surrendering all Then Jesus, I surrender all Breakdown Jesus, I found my freedom When I gave You control I found true treasure When You captured my soul What I thought was losing Was the doorway to grace And what I called surrender Was finding my place Final Chorus My Jesus, I'll take up Your cross, I'll follow You Whatever it costs, whatever You ask me to do If I lose my life, let it be lost in You 'Cause the life that I find is the life You make new Lord, I'll take up my cross, I won't turn away I'll trust You tomorrow as I trust You today My hands are surrendered, my heart belongs to You I'll follow, I'll follow, I'll follow You Outro Lord Jesus, where You lead, I'll go What You ask, I'll give My life is Yours, Lord Teach me how to live I'll take up my cross I'll follow You I'll take up my cross I'll follow You
