The Cause Of Christ chords by Kari Jobe

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 Major chords in the CHORUS and BRIDGE
      can be replaced with E(sus4) 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.

    A                    E
The only thing I want in life
   Bm7                    F#m7
Is to be known for loving Christ.
   A                             E
To build His church, to love His bride,
    Bm7                 A/C#    D
And make His name known far and wide.

Regardless of joy or trial

In Jesus all my hope abides.

[VERSE 3]
   A                    E
It is not fame that I desire
    Bm7                     F#m7
Nor stature in my brother’s eye.
  A                       E
I pray it’s said about my life
             Bm7                A/C#      D
That I lived more to build Your name than mine.
