I’ve been running trying to be one who sees
I’ve been working salvation out on my knees
There is nothing better than knowing
that we are redeemed
I’m believing trusting in creative hands
I am praying for our world to bow to Your plan
And this one thought is unmistakable
I take up my cross and follow You Lord
When You stand the tall trees and mountains bow
When You speak the fiercest of oceans is still
And I see the sinners seek devotion
The lost become chosen, and I fall to my knees
I Fall to my knees (3x)
I’m forgiven, my Savior who did not deserve death
He was blameless and I was lost in shamefulness
I’m delivered, but it doesn’t seem right
Unless I keep my eyes focused on the Savior who gave His life
In the middle of a world that denies it believes
It is breaking apart at the very seams
There is one thing to be alive for
And it’s to take up my cross and follow You Lord
I will take up my cross and follow Lord where You lead me
And I will take up my cross and follow wherever You go
(repeat)
