There’s a cost in following Jesus,
and not everyone will go along
there’s a price to be paid
and it’ll cost us our whole lifelong.
There’s a non-negotiable term,
that we need to be prepared to make
there are personal expenditures
that comes with an even higher stake.
There’s a cost in following Jesus,
and it doesn’t come from our pocket-book
there’s a price to be paid
and it’s one too many of us over look.
There’s a charge that Jesus makes,
if we are to follow and go with Him
there’s a fee that He asks from all of us
and we can’t pay it on a whim.
There’s a cost in following Jesus,
and we’ll repay it our whole lifelong
for we must give up EVERYTHING
if we truly want to go along . . .
