capo 3 
C          Em                  D 
Behold the wood that bears our name; 
C          Em                  G 
behold the nails that hold our sin. 
C             Em              D 
The tree from which salvation blooms; 
C            Em               G 
the death by which we're born again. 

Refrain 
               C                G 
We take up our cross and follow him; 
                C          Em        G 
we lay down our lives that we might live. 
             C       Em      G 
We carry the hope of Christ within; 
               C         Em      G 
we take up our cross and follow him. 

C       Em           D 
We embrace the sacrifice, 
C            Em             G 
and walk the path we cannot see. 
C           Em                 D 
The burdens of this world made light; 
C            Em              D 
by blood and thorn we are redeemed. (to Refrain) 

Bridge 
         Am             Em 
Lift him high, lift him high; 
        C             G 
let his name be glorified. 
         Am             Em 
Lift him high, lift him high; 
        C            G 
let his name be glorified.
