Mortification - The Cost lyrics

In 1920, a young man of 14 Declared himself to be, a preacher of the faith Second World War A German who loved the Lord Preached for all to hear, facing all adversity The cost, of discipleship The cost, to stand against all evil Dietrich Bonhoeffer Lived and was martyred for the Christian faith. The cross, we all must bear The cross, under which there is no fear Live and die, for what we believe No liberal theology In the 1940's, a hero of the faith Refused to stop preaching the gospel He saw the evil in the Third Reich Had to protect the weak and the oppressed. He rescued the Jews to neutral Switzerland Stood for the Lord, in the face of Hitler Martyred for his faith, 9 days before freedom Are we prepared to die for our faith in Jesus Christ Now fear is gone as we long for home. The true church, that is a miracle Standing for Christ, in the face of d**h The cost (x9)
