The Cause Of Christ by Kari Jobe
The Cause Of Christ
NOTE: Written by Kari Jobe, Benjamin Hastings, Bryan Fowler
This song is in 3/4.
I based this loosely on the acoustic version
but these chords work for the studio version too.
The E Major chords in the CHORUS and BRIDGE
can be replaced with E(sus4) OR E(add11) for flavor.
If you want to play it with G Major chord shapes
hit the down arrow twice on the transpose button
and then capo 2 to sound in A Major.
If the chords are too dense or hard to play
hit the simplify button on the left.

The only thing
I want in life
Is to be known
For loving Christ
To build his church
To love his bride
And make His name
Known far and wide
For this cause I live
For this cause I'd die
I surrender all
For the cause of Christ
All I once held dear
I will leave behind
For my joy is this
Oh, the cause of Christ
He is all my soul will prize
Regardless of the joy or trial
When agonizing questions rise
In Jesus all my hope abides
For this cause I live
For this cause I'd die
I surrender all
For the cause of Christ
All I once held dear
I will leave behind
For my joy is this
Oh, the cause of Christ
Jesus, my Jesus
For your glory For your name
Jesus, my Jesus
I will only sing your praise
Jesus, my Jesus
For your glory For your name
Jesus, my Jesus
I will only sing your praise
Jesus, my Jesus
For your glory For your name
Jesus, my Jesus
I will only sing your praise
For this cause I live
For this cause I'd die
I surrender all
For the cause of Christ
All I once held dear
I will leave behind
For my joy is this
Oh, the cause of Christ
For my joy is this
Oh, the cause of Christ
It is not fame
That I desire
Nor stature
In my brother's eye
I pray it's said
About my life
That I lived more to build
Your name than mine
