The Cost

As the sun sets behind the sea
We lay in our beds
Wrestling, quarreling with the questions in our heads
Fear pillages and rapes my mind
I see it looking over me
Feel the fear
The fear of failure
Feel the fear of emptiness
Feel the fear of a promised death hanging over our heads
Feel the fear of it all crashing down
Feel the fear
Trudging, toiling, looking for some hope and in time we'll know
Finding no rest, more sleepless nights
Holding tight to the comforts of your wasted life
Shed your fear
What is the cost of living?
Shed your fear
Will you pay the price?
Remove the earth
Digging for truth
Quest for a calling, to ransom back the dead
Seeking the truth inside
Reaching for a bloodied hand
Shed the fear
Condemned to a martyr's death
I would gladly lose my life
For the sake of Jesus Christ
Hear me now
If this be my final hour, hear me now
If this be my final hour
With my last breath
No more fear
No more emptiness left in here
No more fear
I shed the fear of a promised death
