Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
I was blind but now I see
Love has got a hold on me
Now I sing cause I am free
[Pre-Chorus]
So I'm laying down my life
And I'm taking up my cross
[Chorus]
I'm taking up my cross
Laying down my life
All for the glory of Your name
I'm living my whole life
All for You Jesus
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
[Bridge]
I choose to stand for my generation
