When Christ does give a blessed lot
That divides sweet friends and has great cost
When time it takes all day and night
To give to those in need of Christ.
When all seems lost and prison pales
When crucified by humans nails
When utter loneliness tries to keep
Your Spirit low with lying defeat.
When The Word of the Lord comes and calls
Calling you over a mountain tall
When valleys are deeper than ocean walls
When souls require you to lose it all.
It’s then that the meaning of life is known
When Christ is King and on your throne
When worldly cares now fade away
Many shan’t understand a life this way.
When clothes and jewels no longer gain
Affections deep from a heart that’s changed
When the urge to go and give His love
Is greater now than any tug.
When Christ is every breath of life
Leading you to abundant life
Life through death must manifest
To suffer the will of Christ is best.

37 He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; and he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. 38“And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. 39“He who has found his life will lose it, and he who has lost his life for My sake will find it.
Matthew 10:37-40
