David Meece
Count the Cost
[Chorus]
You gotta count the cost
If you're gonna be a believer
You gotta know that the price
Is the one you can afford
You gotta count the cost
If you're gonna be a believer
You gotta go all the way
If you really love the Lord

[Verse 1]
He never said it'd be easy
Never promised a free ride
There's a costly fee
If you wanna be on His side
Oh, the Father knows the cost
His only Son was the price
And when He says to, "Follow Me"
He's asking of a man His life

[Chorus]
You gotta count the cost
If you're gonna be a believer
You gotta know that the price
Is the one you can afford
You gotta count the cost
If you're gonna be a believer
You gotta go all the way
If you really love the Lord
[Verse 2]
The modern-day disciple
Still has a price to pay
There's a war within, and a war with sin
And he fights it ev'ryday
So be sure and understand
The voice you hear behind the call
You can't come with half a heart
Because He's asking for it all

[Chorus]
You gotta count the cost
If you're gonna be a believer
You gotta know that the price
Is the one you can afford
You gotta count the cost
If you're gonna be a believer
You gotta go all the way
If you really love the Lord

[Chorus]
You gotta count the cost
If you're gonna be a believer
You gotta know that the price
Is the one you can afford
You gotta count the cost
If you're gonna be a believer
You gotta go all the way
If you really love the Lord
[Chorus]
You gotta count the cost
If you're gonna be a believer
You gotta know that the price
Is the one you can afford
You gotta count the cost
If you're gonna be a believer
You gotta go all the way
If you really love the Lord

[Chorus]
You gotta count the cost
If you're gonna be a believer
You gotta know that the price
Is the one you can afford
You gotta count the cost
If you're gonna be a believer
You gotta go all the way
If you really love the Lord
