Count the Cost
There's a pearl of great price which I have found-
It's worth more than all that I own
But is it worth the cost- is the investment sound?
When it's like nothing I have ever known?
For "Thou shalt have no other gods before me"
Says the holy Lord of Hosts
There are many graven images in our treasury
They're whatever we love the most!
Some are molten and some are mental
But idols are never accidental
First we must identify them
Then we must choose to defy them
Count the cost before you mnake the choice-
Before you choose your way
Count the cost before you maske the choice
There's a price that you must pay!
For "Thou shalt have no other gods before me"
Says the holy Lord of Hosts
There are many graven images in our treasury
They're whatever we love the most!
Some are molten and some are mental
But idols are never accidental
First we must identify them
Then we must choose to deny them
Count the cost before you mnake the choice-
Before you choose your way
Count the cost before you maske the choice
There's a price that you must pay!
