Lyrics:

Refrain: If you lose your life for my sake, you will find it;
If you want to save your life, let it go.
Take up your cross, deny yourself;
Come follow me, follow me.

1. How will you profit by gaining the world while you forfeit all of your life?
What will you give in return? What will you give in return?

2. Before I return in glory, I will give you the gift of my love;
You will never taste death. You will never taste death.
