Intro/Turn
Verse 1
The only thing I want in life
Is to be known for loving Christ
To build his church,
to love his bride
And make his name
known far and wide
Is to be known for loving Christ
To build his church,
to love his bride
And make his name
known far and wide
Chorus
For this cause I live
For this cause I’d die
I surrender all
For the cause of Christ
All I once held dear
I will leave behind
For my joy is this
Oh the cause of Christ
For this cause I’d die
I surrender all
For the cause of Christ
All I once held dear
I will leave behind
For my joy is this
Oh the cause of Christ
Verse 2
He is all my soul will prize
Regardless of the joy or trial
When agonizing questions rise
In Jesus all my hope abides
Regardless of the joy or trial
When agonizing questions rise
In Jesus all my hope abides
Bridge
Jesus, my Jesus
For your glory, for your name
Jesus, my Jesus
I will only sing your praise
For your glory, for your name
Jesus, my Jesus
I will only sing your praise
Verse 3
It is not fame that I desire
Nor stature in my brother’s eye
I pray it’s said about my life
That I lived more to build
Your name than mine
Nor stature in my brother’s eye
I pray it’s said about my life
That I lived more to build
Your name than mine
The Cause Of Christ - In the Bible [Verses & Devotional]
The Cause of Christ by Kari Jobe is a beautiful song that speaks to the heart of what it means to be a follower of Jesus. The lyrics remind us that our lives should be focused on loving and serving Christ, and that we should be willing to give up all that we have for the cause of Christ.
The Bible speaks to this same truth in many places. In Matthew 16:24-25, Jesus says, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.” This verse reminds us that we must be willing to give up our own desires and ambitions in order to follow Jesus.
The bridge of the song speaks to the beauty of Jesus and the joy that comes from singing his praises. Psalm 33:1-3 says, “Sing joyfully to the Lord, you righteous; it is fitting for the upright to praise him. Praise the Lord with the harp; make music to him on the ten-stringed lyre. Sing to him a new song; play skillfully, and shout for joy.” This verse reminds us that we should be singing praises to Jesus with all of our hearts.
The Cause of Christ by Kari Jobe is a powerful reminder of what it means to be a follower of Jesus. We must be willing to give up all that we have for the cause of Christ, and we should be singing praises to him with all of our hearts. May we all be willing to live our lives for the cause of Christ.
