Commitment Costs
Commitment costs —
the price is high
It was higher for You
that sinless life
brought to painful death
But Your life again
Broke through that death
Your perfect love
and holiness
The power of You
could not be held
by Satan's grim grip
The life You've placed in us will never die
May it gain in power
as we nail the sin still in our lives
to the cross
and look to You to
meet us there
Your hands bloodstained, where the nails pierced, you hold out to me
There are tears and joy
Lord, You meet me there
You understand
Lord, I want
I need
to die with You
to live with You
risen again
In a world that clings to its normal life
We say there is more
There is freedom for all
beyond the cross
Lord, take us there
