[Em]
[A] He will abandon all for the sake of the cause,
[Em] No other [C#m] reason [A]
but the sake of the cause.
[F#m] Holy, [E] devoted, who [D] [A] fear to die for [B] the sake [E] of the cause.
Nobody stood and a father [A] there,
[E] So they knew from the start this road would not lead to faith.
[Bm] All they really knew [C#] for sure was Jesus [F#m] had called to [E] them,
[A] He said, Come follow me, [D] and they came.
[A] With reckless abandon they became,
[E] Empty nets lying there at the water's [A] edge,
[E] Told a story that few could believe and none could explain.
[A] [Bm] How some crazy [C#] fisherman agreed [F#m] to go where Jesus [E] lived,
[A] With no thought for what [D] they would gain,
[A] For Jesus had called them by name.
Then they [G#m] [E] answered, He will [B]
[E] abandon [B] [A] it [E] all for the sake of the cause,
[F#m] No [E] other [B] [C#m]
reason [B] [A] at [E] all but the sake of the cause.
[A] Holy, [E]
devoted, [D] who live and [A] who die [B] for the sake [E] of the cause.
For the sake of the cause.
Drowned like the rivers are drowned to the sea,
There's no turning back, for the water cannot help but flow.
As
[Bm] we hear the [C#] Savior's call, we'll follow [F#m] wherever He [E] leads,
[A] Because of the love [D] He has shown, and [A] because He has called us to go.
We [B] remember, [E] [F#m] He will [E] abandon [A] it [E] all for the sake of the cause,
[F#m] No [E] other [B] [E] reason [A] at [E] all but the sake of the cause.
[A] Holy, [E] devoted, [D] who live and who [A] die [E] for [B] the sake of [E] the cause.
[A] Not for a dream or [E] [B] a promise, simply because it is [C#m] Jesus who calls.
[A] And if [E] we believe, [D] we'll obey.
He [Bm] [C#] will [B] abandon it all for the sake of [F#] the cause,
[G#] [C#]
No other reason at all [B] but the sake [G#m] of the cause.
[F#] [G#m] We [F#] live [C#] and die
[D#m] [B] [F#] [G#m] for the sake of the [F#] cause,
No [G#m] [F#] [A#m] other reason [D#m] [C#] [B] at [F#] all but the sake of the [B] cause.
Holy, [F#]
devoted, [E] who live and [B] who die [C#] for the sake [F#] of the cause.
[B]
For the sake [F#]
[B]
[F#]
of the [B] cause, no [F#] other reason at all but [B] the sake of the cause.
We live and
[F#]
[B]
[F#] die for the sake of the cause.
