Come After Me
Lyrics
Verse 1:
If you would follow me
You must lay down your life
Take up your cross, and count as loss
Your glory and your pride
Verse 2:
The riches of this world
All power and human praise
Will slip like sand, right through your hands
But my love will remain
Chorus:
Come, come after me, come after me
Don’t lose your life trying to save it
I know it’s hard but it’s worth it, you’ll see
Come after me
Verse 3:
If you would follow me
My way leads first to death
But then to life, my risen life
To lasting joy and rest
I’m the treasure in the field
You must sell your all to buy
But the riches there, beyond compare
It makes the cost seem light
Chorus
Tag (5x):
If I am anything, I must be everything
Come after me

Do Not Lose Heart
Lyrics
Though outwardly we waste away
Our flesh and foe assail us
Though we grow weary on the way
The promise will not fail us
We feel the ache, our spirits groan
We long for full redemption
When God will bring His children home
Forever to be with Him
Do not lose heart, our hope is stronger
Jesus is risen up
Do not lose heart, our king has conquered
And He will overcome
Though suffering is long and hard
It’s only momentary
Compared to heaven’s great reward
Eternal weight of glory
We fix our eyes upon the cross
Where he endured our shame
We hold to love that can’t be lost
And joy that will not fade
Do not lose heart, our hope is stronger
Jesus is risen up
Do not lose heart, our king has conquered
And He will overcome
So we will overcome
Bought with the blood
Sealed by the Spirit
When the storm rises
We will not fear it
Beloved children
Heirs of the Father
He is our trust
Our hope is stronger
