lyrics

What is my whole life
Laid down in sacrifice
Beside the cross?

What is my every day
Laid down to spread your grace
Compared to the cost?

You came and gave yourself for me
And it is only by your stripes I’m healed
Your yes instead of my never enough
So what is my whole life compared to yours?
I lay down my life – and take up yours

What is my whole life
Laid down in sacrifice
Beside the cross?
What are my tomorrows
Trusted only to grace
Compared to the cost?

Content in any circumstance – for you are my reward, my treasure and delight

All this world prizes; one by one I count each thing as loss next to arms outstretched in love
For me to live is Christ and even to die is to my gain – to be with you my Lord
What is my whole life compared to yours?
I lay down my life and take up yours.

(Freeform bridge - personal to the writer)
Bank accounts and buildings, security and pension funds – I count them all as loss.
Reputation and success – the good opinion of others simply matters less than arms outstretched in love.
Even the deepest secret desires of my heart that you know so well Lord – are as nothing next to you.
For what is my whole life compared to yours?
I lay down my life and take up yours.
