There Stands the Cost
by Larnelle Harris

Album: I Choose Joy

Jesus fasted forty days and nights
And then the tempter came
And led Him to a mountain
That overlooked the earth's domain
Then Satan pointed to the world
Displayed beneath their feet
And said these kingdoms could be yours
If you'll bow and worship me

But Jesus knew the price
That must be paid
And as He gazed toward Golgotha
You could hear Him say

Oh, there stands the cost
And like a veil that has been lifted now I see
A glimpse of what the Father has for me
For there beyond the splendor
Lies a vision of the cross
And the Father calls to me
There stands the cost

Down through time the cross
Has called my name
And still my endless fear
Is wondering if my spirit
Will always find the faith to hear
For it calls on me to carry it
To daily bear its weight
To be more like the Christ it held
And give my life away

Oh, for He knows well the price
That must be paid
And as He calls to me right now
I can hear Him say

Oh, there stands the cost
And like a veil that has been lifted now I see
A glimpse of what the Father has for me
For there beyond the splendor
Lies a vision of the cross
And the Father calls to me

Down at the cross
Where my Savior died
Down at the cross, oh...
Where from sin I cried

There stands the cost
And like a veil that has been lifted now I see
A glimpse of what the Father has for me
For there beyond the splendor
Lies a vision of the cross
And the Father calls to me

There stands the cost
Oh, like a veil that has been lifted now I see
A glimpse of what the Father has for me
For there beyond the splendor
Lies a vision of the cross
And the Father calls to me
There stands the cost
