You gotta give up Your possessions
If You want to follow me
You gotta hate your life, hate your wife,
And all your family
You gotta put your hand to the plow
And never once look back
You gotta watch and pray on this narrow way
And surrender all you have
Come, follow me
Come, follow me
Are you counting the costs of taking up your cross
And following wherever I lead
Come, follow me
Are you seeking first the kingdom
Or are you building your own?
Are you giving to the least of these
Or just your happy little home?
Have you considered my commission
Or are you too busy with Your dreams
Would you come and find a better one
Would you come and follow me?
Come, follow me
Come, follow me
Well you can gain the world but you’ll lose your soul
For all of eternity
Come, follow…
Love your enemies
Turn the other cheek
Die so you can live
Forgive as you’ve been forgiven
Come, follow me
Come, follow me
Are you counting the costs of taking up your cross
And following wherever I lead
Well you can gain the world but you’ll lose your soul
For all of eternity
If you keep your life you know you’re gonna stay blind
But lose it and you’re gonna see…
If you’ll come and follow me
