If a hand or a foot or a wandering eye                                    Matthew 5:28-30

Dooms a man, from the start, before he dies                          Mark 9:43-45

If an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth                             Matthew 5:38-41

In your heart, in your mind, you know it’s true 

Chorus 1:

If you believe, you can cast it away

If you walk that extra mile

If a man claims this world for his home                                 Matthew 16:26

In His eyes are we really known?

If you could lay down your life today                                    John 15:13 - Matthew 13:38

To be last, to be first someday                                                Matthew 19:30

If God’s Holy Word you never change                                  Revelation 22:19

You’ll rise up and fly away 

You’ll fly away

You’ll really really fly 

Bridge:

Oh no, It’s not a race if there’s no finish line

Oh no, where’s the prize if we can’t endure this time            Mark 13:13

Pick up your cross and follow me                                           Matthew 10:38

Oooo pick up your cross and you’ll be free 

Repeat Chorus 1: 

Verse 3:

Hmm, I’ll cast my bread upon the waters                               Ecclesiastes 11:1

Hmm, Ask and find what really matters                                 Matthew 7:7

Hmm, Gonna seek and find

Hmm, Gonna leave, leave it all behind
