You've got to count the cost
If you wanna be a believer
You've gotta know that the price
Is the one you can afford
You've got to count the cost
If you wanna be a believer
You've got to go all the way
If you really love the Lord
He never said it'd be easy
He never promised a free ride
There's a costly fee
If you wanna be on His side
Oh, but the Father knows the cost
His only Son was the price
When He says, "Follow Me"
He's asking of a man His life
You've got to count the cost
If you wanna be a believer
You've gotta know that the price
Is the one you can afford
You've got to count the cost
If you wanna be a believer
You've got to go all the way
If you really love the Lord
The modern-day disciple
He still has a price to pay
There's a war within and a war with sin
And he fights it everyday
So be sure and understand
The voice behind the call
You can't come with half a heart
When He's asking for it all
You've got to count the cost
If you wanna be a believer
You've gotta know that the price
Is the one you can afford
You've got to count the cost
If you wanna be a believer
You've got to go all the way
If you really love the Lord
You've got to count the cost
If you wanna be a believer
You've gotta know that the price
Is the one you can afford
You've got to count the cost
If you wanna be a believer
You've got to go all the way
If you really love the Lord
You've got to count the cost
If you wanna be a believer
You've gotta know that the price
Is the one you can afford
You've got to count the cost
If you wanna be a believer
You've got to go all the way
If you really love the Lord
