Count The Cost
Counting the Eternal Worth: Sacrifice for a Soul's Redemption
Lyrics
Is my life more dear to me than what He would have me be
Considering whether my life is more valuable to me than fulfilling the purpose intended by God for me
Would I gladly lay aside each dream I hold
Willingness to let go of personal dreams and desires
Could I count my gain as loss and take up my given cross
Being ready to view personal gains as insignificant and embracing the challenges of following Christ
Am I willing to be spent for Christ my Lord
Readiness to expend oneself for the cause of Christ
Count the cost of one soul lost, without hope and without God
Acknowledging the grave consequences of a single soul being lost without hope and God
Death forever in a lake of flaming fire
Highlighting the eternal suffering in hell for those without salvation
What's the worth of this whole world when compared to one lost soul
Questioning the value of the entire world in comparison to the salvation of a single soul
There's a reason to count the cost
Emphasizing the importance of having a compelling reason to assess and understand the cost of discipleship
It may cost me suffering in the service of my King
Acknowledging the potential for personal suffering while serving as a follower of Christ
It may be a lonely path I have to trod
Acceptance of a possibly challenging and solitary journey in the service of God
But to deeply know my Lord will be my great reward
Expressing that knowing and experiencing a deep relationship with the Lord is a significant reward
I will gladly give my all, I've counted the cost
Readiness to give everything willingly, having carefully considered the associated cost
Count the cost of one soul lost, without hope and without God
Reiteration of the severe consequences of a soul being lost without hope and God
Death forever in a lake of flaming fire
Re-emphasizing the eternal suffering in hell for those without salvation
What's the worth of this whole world when compared to one lost soul
Repeating the question about the value of the entire world in comparison to the salvation of a single soul
There's a reason to count the cost
Reiterating the importance of having a compelling reason to assess and understand the cost of discipleship
Count the cost of one soul lost, without hope and without God
Continuation of the theme, emphasizing the severe consequences of a soul being lost without hope and God
Death forever in a lake of flaming fire
Re-emphasizing the eternal suffering in hell for those without salvation
What's the worth of this whole world when compared to one lost soul
Repeating the question about the value of the entire world in comparison to the salvation of a single soul
There's a reason to count the cost
Reiterating the importance of having a compelling reason to assess and understand the cost of discipleship
There's a reason to count the cost
Stressing the overarching message that there is a significant reason to carefully consider and count the cost of discipleship
