Deny Myself Lyrics

People think

That following You

Is nothing more than platitudes

They don't realize

That it's much more than that

It's giving everything for You

Light of the world

Savior of all mankind

You commanded us to let

You get Your work done

In us

I deny myself

I take up the cross and follow You

The light of the world

It's not enough to simply

Proclaim emptily

Jesus You are

All I need

Your yoke is easy

Your burden is light

So why won't anyone else surrender

All they have to You

People think

It's permissible

To take Your word piecemeal

That means that

They worship themselves

As they think they worship You

Light of the world

Savior of all mankind

You commanded us to let

You get Your work done

In us

I deny myself

I take up the cross and follow You

The light of the world

It's not enough to simply

Proclaim emptily

Jesus You are

All I need

Your yoke is easy

Your burden is light

So why won't anyone else surrender

All they have to You

Even the demons

Believe and tremble

As for me I choose

To walk in Your will

You are enough

To satisfy and sanctify

I deny myself

I take up the cross and follow You

The light of the world

It's not enough to simply

Proclaim emptily

Jesus You are

All I need

Your yoke is easy

Your burden is light

So why won't anyone else surrender

All they have to You

I deny myself

I take up the cross and follow You

The light of the world

It's not enough to simply

Proclaim emptily

Jesus You are

All I need

Your yoke is easy

Your burden is light

So why won't anyone else surrender

All they have to You
