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
