Couplet 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

Refrain

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

Couplet 2

He is all my soul will prize
Regardless of the joy or trial
When agonizing questions rise
In Jesus all my hope abides

Refrain

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

Pont

Jesus my Jesus
For Your glory for Your name
Jesus my Jesus
I will only sing Your praise

Refrain

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

Tag

For my joy is this
Oh the cause of Christ

Couplet 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
