[Bridge]
C
I won't bow to idols
D
I'll stand strong and worship You
Em
And if it puts me in the fire
G/B
I'll rejoice 'cause You're there too
C
I won't be formed by feelings
D
I hold fast to what is true
Em
If the cross brings transformation
G/B
Then I'll be crucified with You
C
'Cause death is just the doorway
D
Into resurrection life
Em
And if I join You in Your suffering
G/B
Then I'll join You when You rise
C
And when You return in glory
D
With all the angels and the saints
Em
My heart will still be singing
D
And my song will be the same

[Chorus]
