I was blind now I see
Love has got a hold of me
Now I sing ’cause I am free
So I’m, laying down my life
And I’m, taking up my Cross
I’m taking up my Cross
Laying down my life, all for the glory of Your name
Living my whole life, all for You Jesus
I’m taking up my cross everyday
I was lost now I’m found
Put my feet on solid ground
Now I sing ’cause I am free
I choose to stand for my Generation
(repeat)
I’m taking up my Cross
(repeat 4x)
