Have You Counted the Cost?

There’s a line that is drawn

By re­ject­ing our Lord

Where the call of His Spir­it is lost

And you hur­ry along

With the plea­sure mad throng—

Have you count­ed

Have you count­ed the cost?

Have you count­ed the cost

If your soul should be lost

Tho’ you gain the whole world

For your own?

Even now it may be

That the line you have crossed;

Have you count­ed

Have you count­ed the cost?

You may bar­ter your hope

Of eter­ni­ty’s morn

For a mo­ment of joy at the most

For the glit­ter of sin

And the things it will win—

Have you count­ed

Have you count­ed the cost?

While the door of His mer­cy

Is open for you

Ere the depth of His love you ex­haust

Won’t you come and be healed

Won’t you whis­per

I yield—

I have count­ed

I have count­ed the cost.
