When Obedience Costs

[Verse 1] They told me "Play it safe Just blend in Don’t stand out" But Your word cut through my comfort Like a whisper and a shout Peter stepped out on the water While the others hugged the boat He found You in the danger He found life out on that road [Chorus] When obedience costs And the price feels high When the fire gets close And the tears won’t dry I will follow You Jesus Even if I lose it all Faithfulness matters more than the outcome So I answer when You call (here I am) [Verse 2] They warned him "Stop that preaching You could lose your very life" Still he said "I can’t stay silent I must listen Not deny" He chose courage over comfort Chose Your voice above applause Spirit filled his shaking body Gave him strength to face the cross [Chorus] When obedience costs And the price feels high When the fire gets close And the tears won’t dry I will follow You Jesus Even if I lose it all Faithfulness matters more than the outcome So I answer when You call (here I am) [Bridge] When my yes feels heavy And the road turns rough You have walked it for me Your grace is enough Spirit Breathe endurance Teach my heart to trust That staying true is victory Whatever comes of us (oh) [Chorus] When obedience costs And the price feels high When the fire gets close And the tears won’t dry I will follow You Jesus Even if I lose it all Faithfulness matters more than the outcome You are worth it Worth it all
