THE CAUSE OF CHRIST – Kari Jobe

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 MajorE Major chords in the CHORUS and BRIDGE
   can be replaced with E(sus4) for flavor.
   If you want to play it with G+G Major chord shapes
   hit the down arrow twice on the transpose button
   and then capo 2 to sound in A augmentedA Major.

[VERSE 1]
  A augmentedA          E MajorE
The only thing I want in life
  Bm7Bm7          F#m7F#m7
Is to be known for loving Christ.
  A augmentedA               E MajorE
To build His church, to love His bride,
  Bm7Bm7         A/C#A/C#  D MajorD
And make His name known far and wide.

For this cause I live for this cause I’d die.

[VERSE 3]
  A augmentedA          E MajorE
It is not fame that I desire
  Bm7Bm7           F#m7F#m7
Nor stature in my brother’s eye.
 A augmentedA            E MajorE
I pray it’s said about my life
       Bm7Bm7        A/C#A/C#   D MajorD
That I lived more to build Your name than mine.
