Asus2 Dsus4

[Verse 1]
Asus2                            Dsus4
These days shallow and feeble resolve abound
            Asus2                           Dsus4
And true devotion and passionate fervor are seldom found
              Dsus2           Asus2
But there are those who often feel they're all alone
F#m              G
Those of whose identities are known
       Dsus2                 Asus2
By the mark of the crucified Son

[Chorus]
E        B/F#    C#m/G#  Asus2
Praying, caring, loving, sharing
C#m           A            B
These are the marks of the cross
E       B/F#     C#m/G#   Asus2
Giving, bearing, feeling, daring
    Dsus2                    Bsus2
To lay down your life on the line
   C#m                      Asus2
Forgetting what you leave behind
    E          A          B
And willing to suffer the loss
                    Asus2     C#5 B5
Of the marks of the cross

[Verse 2]
Asus2                                    Dsus4
These days the search for detachment and solitude
        Asus2                                 Dsus4
Lead to retreating to fortresses no one would dare intrude
               Dsus2                Asus2
Then there are those whose restless burdens start to show
F#m            G
Those who unmistakably most know
           Dsus2                    Asus2
There's no crown 'til we suffer the cross

[Chorus]
E        B/F#    C#m/G#  Asus2
Praying, caring, loving, sharing
C#m           A            B
These are the marks of the cross
E       B/F#     C#m/G#   Asus2
Giving, bearing, feeling, daring
    Dsus2                    Bsus2
To lay down your life on the line
   C#m                      Asus2
Forgetting what you leave behind
    E          A          B
And willing to suffer the loss
                    D
Of the marks of the cross

[Bridge]
C#m              A
All our identity rests in the knowledge
   E                    B
Of who we're created to be - wahoowah
C#m                     A
We are His workmanship, made in His image
    E                  B
For all of creation to see
    E                         B
The marks of His pain and His glory

[Chorus]
F#       C#/G#   D#m/A#  Bsus2
Praying, caring, loving, sharing
D#m           B            C#
These are the marks of the cross
F#      C#/G#    D#m/A#   Bsus2
Giving, bearing, feeling, daring
    Esus2                    C#sus2
To lay down your life on the line
   D#m                      Bsus2
Forgetting what you leave behind
    F#         B          C#
And willing to suffer the loss
                    Bsus2/F#
Of the marks of the cross
