Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I left my old name by the doorway
Set down the keys to that house
All of the rooms I kept defending
Could not keep the darkness out
You found me counting every failure
With both hands closed like stone
You said, “Come walk where I am leading”
And made the wilderness home
[Pre-Chorus]
No more turning back
No more throne for me
If I lose my life in You
That is where I’m free
[Chorus]
I take up the cross, I follow
Past the ache and past the flame
Let the man I was lie buried
Let Your mercy call my name
You are pulling me from nightfall
You are teaching dust to rise
I leave the world behind me
And I’m walking into light
[Verse 2]
The crowd can keep its hollow kingdom
Its praise that fades by dawn
I found a better kind of treasure
In the wounds You carried on
My hands are open, empty-handed
Still You place Your life in mine
Every chain I called protection
Falls beneath the word divine
[Pre-Chorus]
No more turning back
No more throne for me
If I lose my life in You
That is where I’m free
[Chorus]
I take up the cross, I follow
Past the ache and past the flame
Let the man I was lie buried
Let Your mercy call my name
You are pulling me from nightfall
You are teaching dust to rise
I leave the world behind me
And I’m walking into light
[Bridge]
Jesus, keep my feet from wandering
Jesus, hold my heart when it fights
Where You go, I will go willingly
Through the grave and into life
Jesus, break the pride that hides in me
Jesus, make these ashes bright
What I cannot give, Your grace will carry
Lead me farther into light
[Final Chorus]
I take up the cross, I follow
Now Your love has changed my sight
The old heart is left behind me
And Your breath is in my life
You are stronger than the darkness
You are faithful through the night
I leave the world behind me
And I’m walking into light
[Outro]
Into light
I am Yours
Into light
I am Yours
