Lyrics
No Matter The Cost
(Verse)
I've sung a thousand times
Songs of love with perfect rhyme
But even still, I sometimes find I'm lost
In the clutter of the day
Seems we only meet halfway
I need You near no matter what the cost
Chorus
No matter the cost
I will follow You
I promise to give to You the best that I can
'Till You come shining through
No matter the cost
A change that's overdue
I place my trust, my heart into Your hands, Lord
'Cause nothing else will do
All my life I give to You
No matter the cost
Verse
You walked the dusty road
Spoke of truth, worth more than gold
And searched for those whose lives had gone astray
Then willingly You died
So my debt was satified
And through it all I know I heard You say
Chorus
No matter the cost
I'll cover what is due
I promise to give to You the best that I can
To prove my love is true
No matter the cost
I'd leave my world for You
I freely give my life to pay your ransom
'Cause nothing else will do
All my life I give to you
No matter the cost
Bridge
All the earthly things I struggle to achieve
Won't matter in the end
'Cause there is more to gain, than fortune I believe
There is life that's lasting, just in the asking,
That You would call me friend. call me friend
Chorus
No matter the cost
I will follow You
I promise to give to You the best that I can
'Till You come shining through
No matter the cost
A change that's overdue
I place my trust, my heart into Your hands, Lord
'Cause nothing else will do
(Tag)
All my trust I place in You
All my heartI give to You
All my life I give to You
No matter the cost
