Album: Holiness Cries
Verse 1:
Christ laid down His life (1)
With Him I am crucified (2)
Destined to die (3)
A holy exchange: His life for mine (4)
Count the cost (5)
The price of immersion
Fall down and pledge your allegiance!
This is the call, perennial
This is the call, to bear your cross!
Chorus:
Bear your cross! (6)
Come & die!
Baptized with Christ in death (7)
Raised up in righteousness (8)
Verse 2:
Creation distorted, dominion belied (9)
This image of God who was destined to die (10)
Has paid for redemption; the ransom for life (for life)
Chorus:
Bear your cross! (6)
Come & die!
Baptized with Christ in death (7)
Raised up in righteousness (8)
Verse 3:
The Kingdom of Heaven is here (11)
Seek this and righteousness (12)
Repent and believe and bow to the King (13)
By the water and the Spirit, I am born again (14)
With Christ I am crucified (15)
I bid you come & die
