Intro
[no chord]
I've counted the cost, I count it all as loss
For the sake of knowing You
Verse 1
[ s]
F#m
I peel my hands away from earthly things
God, I turn my eyes away from all these worthless things
I lay down honor and fame I'm sick of building my own name
E
Lord, let everything I do be for Your glory and Your fame
F#m
Don't wanna' be building castles outta sand cuz' I know they won't stand
In the wake of the judgment set to come from Your hand
When all wood hay and stubble will be burned away
E
Cuz' all flesh is fading fast, only Your word remains
Chorus 1
F#m
I've counted the cost I count it all as loss
E
For the sake of knowing You
F#
Until that day when I see You face to face
E
I'll be taking up my cross
Verse 2
F#m
I say goodbye to my father, my mother
I cling to You and You alone I'll have no other
This one thing I do, I leave it all behind
E
Cuz' You said if I searched then it's You that I would find
F#m
I fight the fight of faith, I run the race
Just give me grace that I could seek Your face
So until the day that I die, I'll be living my life
E
So in the end when You return I'll obtain the prize
[Chorus 1]
Chorus 2
F#m
I lay it all down, that I'd be found
E
A pleasing sacrifice
F#m
I'm living for another day, living for another age
E
Your kingdom come on earth
Bridge
F#m E
One day He's gonna' split the sky
F#m E
One day He's gonna' come for His bride
F#m E
I know it, I know it, I know it
F#m E
Oh, oh, oh, oh
