Intro High on the mountain, Where the sky meets stone, I hear a question Calling me home. Verse 1 What does it profit me To hold the world in my hands, To climb every mountain But never understand? I could chase every treasure, I could build my name, But a heart full of riches Can still die the same. Pre-Chorus So I'll loosen my grip, Let the old life fall, If losing myself Means I hear Christ's call. Chorus I'll lay my life down, Jesus, I'll follow Your way, Though I don't know the road Or what tomorrow will say. If I lose what I have But I find You instead, Then the life I surrender Is the life that You've led. Verse 2 There's a cross in the distance, And the path isn't easy, But You never promised That following would be easy. The stones may be broken, The summit may be steep, But the soul that You rescue Is the soul You will keep. Pre-Chorus So I'll loosen my grip, Let the old life fall, For what good is a kingdom If I lose my soul? Chorus I'll lay my life down, Jesus, I'll follow Your way, Though I don't know the road Or what tomorrow will say. If I lose what I have But I find You instead, Then the life I surrender Is the life that You've led. Bridge Let the world have its glory, Let its treasures shine bright. I would rather have Jesus Than possess it all tonight. Lord, take my plans and my pride, Take the things I defend. If I lose myself in You, I've found myself again. Final Chorus I'll lay my life down, Jesus, I'll follow Your way, Though I don't know the road Or what tomorrow will say. If I lose what I have But I find You instead, Then the life I surrender Is the life that You've led. Outro High on the mountain, I finally see— The life I was losing Was the life Jesus saved in me.
