Counted the Cost |
| I’ve counted the cost |
| I count it all as loss |
| For the sake of knowing You |
| I peel my hands away from earthly things |
| God, I turn my eyes away from all these worthless things |
| I lay down honor and fame, I’m sick of building my own name |
| Lord, let everything I do be for Your glory and Your fame |
| Don’t wanna' be building castles outta sand cause' I know they won’t stand |
| In the wake of the judgment set to come from Your hand |
| When all wood hay and stubble will be burned away |
| Cause' all flesh is fading fast, only Your word remains |
| I’ve counted the cost |
| I count it all as loss |
| For the sake of knowing You |
| So until the day |
| When I’ll see You face to face |
| I’ll be taking up my cross |
| I say goodbye to my father, my mother |
| I cling to You and You alone I’ll have no other |
| God, this one thing I do, I leave it all behind |
| Cause' You said if I searched then it’s You that I would find |
| I fight the fight of faith, I run the race |
| Just give me grace that I could seek Your face |
| So until the day that I die, I’ll be living my life |
| So in the end when You return I’ll obtain the prize |
| I’ve counted the cost |
| I count it all as loss |
| For the sake of knowing You |
| So until the day |
| When I’ll see You face to face |
| I’ll be taking up my cross |
| I lay it all down |
| That I’d be found |
| A pleasing sacrifice |
| I’m living for another day |
| Living for another age |
| Your kingdom come on earth |
| One day He’s gonna' split the sky |
| One day He’s gonna' come for His bride |
| I know it, I know it, I know it, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh |
