When there's a
treasure to obtain
oft the price
includes some pain.
A wise man will
count the cost
making sure his
efforts won't be lost.
Long ago One
endured the pain
looked past the
cross to what He'd gain
eternity with a
priceless bride.
who would choose His love and there abide
He counted well
that total cost
to redeem mankind
and save the lost
and asks us now to
do the same
lay down your life
and receive His name.
