LYRICS
I owe my life to Jesus
If I had many more I would give them all to him
I owe my whole life to Jesus
If I had a thousand more, that's still not enough
I'd live them all for him
He did not hesitate to do this work for me.
My kinsman redeemer, He bought full and complete redemption
He considered the cost, what it would take to free my soul
Came down from his glory and made a way back to the tree of life
Chorus 1
I Count the cost of what Jesus did for me
I Count the cost of what Jesus did for me at Calvary
I Count the cost as he left his home in glory, redemption story just for me
I Count the cost as he left his throne on high, came down to die just for me
V2
Like Ruth coming out of a broken, barren land,
I came in to the house of God's bread
Though I be a stranger, I followed the voice inside
I was instructed, to the feet of the one who would change my life
So I laid my claim upon the word which I was taught
With all my heart I believe for he hath proven faithful before
And he promised that he would not rest until it's done
He did exactly as was promised -- oh lord! I could never repay such love
Chorus 2
Count the cost of what Jesus did for you and me
Count the cost of what Jesus did for you and me at Calvary
Count the cost as he left his home in glory, redemption story for you and me
Count the cost as he left his throne on high, came down to die for you and me
Bridge
On Easter morning he rose from the grave
Restoring access to the tree of life
That since in Eden was taken away, but now
It's given back to the bride
The title deed has been restored
Now we can look and live forever more!
Chorus 3
Count the cost of what Jesus did for you and me
Count the cost of what Jesus did for you and me at Calvary
Count the cost as he left his home in glory, redemption story for you and me
Count the cost as he left his throne on high, Paid the perfect price for you and me
Coda
Saints we're on our way to Glory Land
To the wedding supper of the Lamb
It's a brand new day, for you and me!
