You don't want my perfection All You ask of me Is that I show up broken at Your feet You don't want my religion You are looking for devotion That is more than just routine
So show me what it means
To take up my cross And count it all as lost All for the sake Of knowing You To love my enemies And care for those in need Show me what it means To follow You
Have I become like the Pharisee? Passing by the needy While I'm speaking Jesus on my lips Will I walk with You on raging seas? Or will I turn away When You want more than what I want to give
So show me what it means What it means
To take up my cross And count it all as lost All for the sake Of knowing You To love my enemies And care for those in need Show me what it means To follow You
To love as You love And live as You lived To never give up On giving You my life To love as You love And live as You lived To find out what it means To be alive To be alive
To take up my cross And count it all as lost All for the sake Of knowing You To love my enemies And care for those in need Show me what it means To follow You
To take up my cross And count it all as lost All for the sake Of knowing You To love my enemies And care for those in need Show me what it means To follow YouThe River
