Count the cost- , decide if you have what it takes To commit to the task

Everything is at risk-Your life and your all-for your life is all He asks

Give Him prior claim-To every allegience you've known

Like a chattle slave-For the master lays claim to His own!

Bearing a cross is not bearing pains and aches

For suffering and death is what a cross makes

So now we are dead men on parole

To the master of our souls

For every commitment there is a cost

So gain the prize that can never be lost!

Give yourself to the eternal- for this you were born

Let the Lord be the One to whom allegience is sworn!

For suffering and death is what a cross makes

For suffering and death is what a cross makes

For suffering and death is what a cross makes
