When I look back at what I thought was a living
I'm amazed at the price I chose to pay
And to think I ignored what really mattered
Because I thought the sacrifice would be too great
But when I finally reached the point of givin' in
I found the cross was calling even then
Even though it took dying to survive I never felt so much alive
For I am crucified with Christ and yet I live
Not I but Christ that lives within me
His cross will never ask for more than I can give
For it's not my strength but His there's no greater sacrifice
For I am crucified with Christ and yet I live
As I hear the Savior call for daily dying
I will bow beneath the weight of Calvary
Let my hands surrender to His piercing purpose
That holds me to the cross yet sets me free
I will glory in the power of the cross
The things I thought were gain I count as loss
And with His suff'ring I identify
And by His resurrection power I'm alive
And I will offer all I have so that His cross is not in vein
For I've found to live is Christ and to die is truly gain
For I am crucified with Christ and yet I live
Not I but Christ that lives within me
His cross will never ask for more than I can give
For it's not my strength but His there's no greater sacrifice
For I am crucified with Christ and yet I live
