Pontifex - Count The Cost lyrics

[Verse 1] Love is an attractive word but it's not always what it seems I wonder if really know what the true definition means The Song from the 70's, the Bee Gees provokes questions in my head How deep is your love, do you know what it all meant? When you laid down on the floor and gave it all away? Did you really count the cost, do you really live that way? I'm looking at the cross and picturing that sacred kenosis He poured his love out in buckets not in small doses And the truth is that I need to keep looking right at it And seek to live pa**ionately for the pa**ion and not move pa**ed it It so easy to guard myself from the essence of sacrifice And play the same mind game and do just enough to get by But that's not what it is to be great, it's not what is to be saint I don't want to be dead bones in a box, washed white with paint If I step out on that water I better stop and count the cost The stakes are too high wandering in this land of the lost [Verse 2] Eloquent words, our King is so quotable We print his verses everywhere it's just so notable If I remember correctly Jesus said “I am THE way” He is not one among wise men and the words they say And if you put his words on your lips, check the tag for the price You can't say that you know him unless you live sacrifice I never knew a Jesus piece to bring a man peace Head nods in God's direction, do not make restless hearts to cease Your cross, your call it's something specific for you to do And without a deep yes and action it's “I never knew you.” Look for him the heart only settles on what is true His eyes indeed look for yours and mine, allow him to find you
