It cost me more than you’ll ever know
To see your sin and live your loss
As I stood in all the darkness of the world
On my cross
(repeat)
Pre-Chorus:
Take up your cross
Hold it closely as your prize
Wear it proudly as you walk with the wise
Chorus:
It was my call, it was my soul to bear your pain
It was my purpose to pour out my blood so yours could be saved
It was my call, it was my soul to bear your pain
It was my purpose to pour out my blood
Where is your cross, do you carry it now
Hold it stately as you march in faith
Is it fear that you walk in
Allowing the timid to remain
Pre-Chorus / Chorus
Bridge:
It was my purpose to die
It was my plan to arise
It was my purpose to die
It was my plan to arise
