Strongarm Count The Cost lyrics

Count yourselves worthy to suffer loss
Brought down, held back, marvel not that the world hates you
If you were of it, it would hold you high
But as it hated Christ, it hates those that follow Him

Not withholding pride, not withstanding right
Unashamed we rise to the name of Christ
Keep yourselves pure for the renewing of your minds
To be a light in deed and word

For this is life, for this is love

Abiding in the will of the Father
Count the cost, suffering all lost
In the name of Christ take up your cross

Looking to that which is unseen to our eternal hope
Not moved by the things of this world
Our redemption draws near, the end is in sight
Hold true Christian brethren, to these promises of life
