Steve Camp - Consider the Cost lyrics
[Steve Camp - Consider the Cost lyrics]
To obey is better than sacrifice
And the hearken than the fat of rams
For what will a man give for his own life
Houses or money or land
There's a way that seems right to you
But in the end it leads only to death
But come unto Him all ye weary
Come and find your rest
Consider the cost of building a tower
It's a narrow way that you must come
For to do the will of the Father
Is to follow the Son
To love Him more than father or mother
You will love Him more than
Even your own flesh
To give all that you are, for all that He is
This is the gospel according to Jesus
Many will say "Lord, Lord" on that day
Look what we've done in Your name
"Oh, we've prophesied and
Performed many miracles
And Lord, even the demons obeyed"
Then He will will declare unto them
The most terrifying words of truth
He'll say "Depart from me
Ye workers of iniquity
For I have never known you!"
Consider the cost of building a tower
It's a narrow way that you must come
For to do the will of the Father
Is to follow the Son
We love Him more than father or mother
We love Him more than even your own flesh
To give all that you are, for all that He is
This is the gospel according to Jesus
Oh, foolish man, how you built on the sand
Trusting in your goodness to save
For when the rains fall and
The flood breaks the wall
You will be swept away
But blessed is he who builds on the Rock
Who takes Jesus as Lord to save
For when the rain falls
He will endure it all
Standing firm in His grace
Consider the cost of building a tower
It's a narrow way that you must come
For to do the will of the Father
Is to follow the Son
We love Him more than father or mother
We love Him more than even your own flesh
To give all that you are, for all that He is
This is the gospel according to Jesus
To give all that you are, for all that He is
This is the gospel according to Jesus
And the hearken than the fat of rams
For what will a man give for his own life
Houses or money or land
There's a way that seems right to you
But in the end it leads only to death
But come unto Him all ye weary
Come and find your rest
Consider the cost of building a tower
It's a narrow way that you must come
For to do the will of the Father
Is to follow the Son
To love Him more than father or mother
You will love Him more than
Even your own flesh
To give all that you are, for all that He is
This is the gospel according to Jesus
