devotion

by marty sampson (hillsong united)

i’ve been running

trying to be one who sees
i’ve been working salvation out on my knees
there is nothing better than knowing
we are redeemed

i’m believing
trusting in creative hands
i am praying
for our world to bow to Your plan
and this one thought is unmistakable
take up my cross and follow You, Lord

when You stand
the tall trees and mountains bow
when You speak
the fiercest of oceans is stilled
and I see
the sinner seek devotion
the lost become chosen
and I fall to my knees

i’m forgiven
by a Saviour who did not deserve death
He was blameless
i was lost in shamefulness
i’m delivered, but it doesn’t seem right
unless I keep my eyes focused
on the Saviour who gave His life

in the middle of a world that denies it believes
it is breaking apart at the very seams
there is one thing
to be alive for
and it’s to take up my cross and follow You, Lord

when You stand

the tall trees and mountains bow

when You speak

the fiercest of oceans is stilled

and I see

the sinner seek devotion

the lost become chosen

and I fall to my knees

i will take up my cross and follow,
Lord, where You lead me
i will take up my cross and follow
wherever You go
