The Fellowship of His Sufferings

Verse 1

Oh to be one with the wounded Christ
And to drink Your tears of weeping
In the hope of eternal life to be unveiled at Your appearing
For the things we once thought gain, now we count them all as loss
As we reach for the crown of life, With our hearts bound to the cross

Chorus 1

Oh to know the Christ the fellowship of His sufferings
Mystery disclosed, Christ in us, the hope of glory
Strengthened through the test by the grace of our Messiah
Sharing in Your death, that we may share in Your triumph!
When You return in Your power to restore all things
When You return to Your glory as our God and King

Verse 2

So we’ll meet You outside the camp
And we’ll share the disgrace You bore
In the hope of a weight of glory when You come with Your reward
So to the rulers of the air come and make Your wisdom known
Full of colors manifold as You make Your stripes our own

Chorus 2

Oh to know the Christ the fellowship of His sufferings
Mystery disclosed, it’s You in us, the hope of glory
Strengthened through the test by Your faithfulness Messiah
Sharing in Your death, that we may share in Your triumph!
When You return in Your power to restore all things
When You return in Your glory as our God and King
