I’M GLAD I COUNTED THE COST

1. When first I started to seek the Lord,
     I’m glad I counted the cost;
     I fully measured to Jesus’word,
     I’m glad I counted the cost.

             CHORUS

              I h’ve paid the price and  obtained the prize,
              He saved my soul that was lost;
              And now my treasures are in the skies;
              I’m glad I counted the cost.

2.I laid my sorrows at Jesus’ feet,
   I’m glad I counted the cost;
   And now I’ve pleasures, so pure and sweet,
   I’m glad I counted the cost;

3.I’ve bid farewell to this world of sin,
   I’m glad I counted the cost;
   Yes, now my Jesus abides within,
    I’m glad I counted the cost.

4.Although the trials seem hard to bear,
   I’m glad I counted the cost;
   I now my burdens with Jesus to share;
   I’m glad I counted the cost.

5.‘Twill not be long till the Lord shall come,
    I’m glad I counted the cost;
    And bear my soul to that heav’nly Home,
    I’m glad I counted the cost.
