For The Cause Lyrics

Stuart Townend For The Cause

[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
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 2]
For the King once lifted high
To cries of rage, of 'Crucify!'
Endured the cross, as every sin was laid
On the Son
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

[Turn]

[Verse 3]
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
