I think about this every Easter time.
"Crucified with Christ"~ Phillips, Craig and Dean
When I look back at what I thought was living
I'm amazed at the price I chose to pay
And to think I ignored what really mattered
'Cause I thought the sacrifice would be too great
But when I finally reached the point of giving in
I found the cross was calling even then
And even though it took dying to survive
I've 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 is 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 yetsets me free
I will glory in the power of the cross
The things I thought were gain I count as loss
And with His suffering I identify
And by His ressurrection power I am alive
and I will offer all I have
So that His cross is not in vain
For I found to live is Christ
And die is truly gain
*that is why I live my life the way God would want me to.
