D
I won't bow to idols

I'll stand strong and worship You

And if it puts me in the fire

I'll rejoice 'cause You're there too
D
I won't be formed by feelings

I hold fast to what is true

If the cross brings transformation
A/C#
Then I'll be crucified with You
D
'Cause death is just the doorway

Into resurrection life

And if I join You in Your suffering

My heart will still be singing

And my song will be the same
