[Verse] He looked at the crowd and said it true Carry your cross it's what you must do Hate your own life yes even that too Follow my call my light will stay with you [Verse 2] Building a tower you count each stone Plan your steps or be overthrown Imagine a king who's out on his throne With fewer troops must plan alone [Chorus] Oh the cost of the walk we take It's more than just the vows we make Leaving behind the worldly stake In his light our hearts awake [Bridge] Salt is good but loses its taste Thrown to be trampled what a waste Ear to listen don't hesitate Hear his call it's not too late [Verse 3] Hearts that hold too much can't serve Giving all is what we deserve Broken pieces he will preserve In his kingdom we can be fervent [Chorus] Oh the cost of the walk we take It's more than just the vows we make Leaving behind the worldly stake In his light our hearts awake
