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 d**h 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
