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 p-ssionately for the p-ssion and not move p-ssed 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
