You gotta count the cost

If you're gonna be a believer

You gotta know that the price

Is the one you can afford

You gotta count the cost

If you're gonna be a believer

You gotta go all the way

If you really love the Lord

He never said it would be easy

He never promised a free ride

There's a costly fee

If you wanna be on his side

Oh the father knows the cost

His only son was the price

And when He says to "Follow Me"

He's asking of a man his life

You gotta count the cost

If you're gonna be a believer

You gotta know that the price

Is the one you can afford

You gotta count the cost

If you're gonna be a believer

You gotta go all the way

If you really love the Lord

The modern day disciple

Still has a price to pay

There's a war within

And war with sin

And he fights it everyday

So be sure and understand

The voice you hear behind the call

You can't come with half a heart

Because He's asking for it all

You gotta count the cost

If you're gonna be a believer

You gotta know that the price

Is the one you can afford

You gotta count the cost

If you're gonna be a believer

You gotta go all the way

If you really love the Lord

You gotta count the cost

If you're gonna be a believer

You gotta know that the price

Is the one you can afford

You gotta count the cost

If you're gonna be a believer

You gotta go all the way

If you really love the Lord

You gotta count the cost

If you're gonna be a believer

You gotta know that the price

Is the one you can afford

You gotta count the cost

If you're gonna be a believer

You gotta go all the way

If you really love the Lord

You gotta count the cost

If you're gonna be a believer

You gotta know that the price

Is the one you can afford

You gotta count the cost

If you're gonna be a believer

You gotta go all the way

If you really love the Lord
