show me what it means

you don't want my perfection

all you ask of me

is that i show up broken at your feet

you don't want my religion

you are looking for devotion

that is more than just routine

so show me what it means

to take up my cross

and count it all as lost

all for the sake

of knowing you

to love my enemies

and care for those in need

show me what it means

to follow you

have i become like the pharisee?

passing by the needy

while i'm speaking jesus on my lips

will i walk with you on raging seas?

or will i turn away

when you want more than what i want to give

so show me what it means

what it means

to take up my cross

and count it all as lost

all for the sake

of knowing you

to love my enemies

and care for those in need

show me what it means

to follow you

to love as you love

and live as you lived

to never give up

on giving you my life

to love as you love

and live as you lived

to find out what it means

to be alive

to be alive

to take up my cross

and count it all as lost

all for the sake

of knowing you

to love my enemies

and care for those in need

show me what it means

to follow you

to take up my cross

and count it all as lost

all for the sake

of knowing you

to love my enemies

and care for those in need

show me what it means

to follow you
