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
