Oh, will you count the cost today? Oh, will you leave your sinful way? I will, I will. Oh, will you bear the cross for Him? Oh, will you start the prize to win? I will, I will.
Chorus
I’ll give up sin, the prize to win, And meekly bear the cross for Him, I will, I will.
Verse 2
Oh, will you count the cost today? Oh, will you walk the narrow way? I will, I will. Oh, will you persecutions bear, And fight a starry crown to wear? I will, I will.
Chorus
I’ll give up sin, the prize to win, And meekly bear the cross for Him, I will, I will.
Verse 3
Oh, will you count the cost today? Oh, will you come without delay? I will, I will. Will you give up the world this hour, And prove His mighty saving pow’r? I will, I will.
Chorus
I’ll give up sin, the prize to win, And meekly bear the cross for Him, I will, I will.

Oh, will you count the cost today? Despite what men and demons say? I will, I will. Oh, will you stand with Christ alone, The Rock of Truth and Corner Stone? I will, I will.
Chorus
I’ll give up sin, the prize to win, And meekly bear the cross for Him, I will, I will.
Verse 5
Oh, will you count the cost today? Oh, will you speak and sing and pray? I will, I will. Oh, will you read the word He’s giv’n, And do His will as ’tis is heav’n? I will, I will.
Chorus
I’ll give up sin, the prize to win, And meekly bear the cross for Him, I will, I will.
