Lyrics

(John 12:24-26)

If life is a seed, lay it in the ground

It’s a hard way

It’s hard to believe, hard to lay it down

But it’s your way to bring a harvest

You will raise it up like you always do

Anyone who loves their life will lose it

While anyone who hates their life in this world

Will keep it for eternal life

Whoever serves me must follow me

And where I am my servant will also be

My Father will honour the one who serves me

My Father will honour the one who serves me

My King had no crown but thorns upon his brow

It’s a hard way

My King had no throne, they nailed him to cross

This is your way to bring a harvest

You were lifted up to draw us to you

Anyone who loves their life will lose it

While anyone who hates their life in this world

Will keep it for eternal life

Whoever serves me must follow me

And where I am my servant will also be

My Father will honour the one who serves me

My Father will honour the one who serves me
