Lyrics

Knew The Cost

Headstrong, doing things my own way
Thinking things will just fall in place
But deep down, like a riverbed I was dry
Felt abandoned, barren, broken up inside

Lift:
My tears couldn't wet this dusty ol' creek bed
Then I discovered the river of life instead

Chorus:
You knew the cost of the love
that would rebuild me
You knew the cost
Yet you grant me
You grant me mercy
You took my place
Give me your grace
Nailed passion on the cross
You knew the cost

Diving into things I shouldn't do
Following my own heart instead of you
Took roads that led to deeper pain and loneliness
Just some backstreet, dead end, a place with no address

Lift:
My soul couldn't find a healing route to go
Then I found your path to forgiveness and now I know

Chorus:

Bridge:
I rejoice in your name
A life that doesn't run dry
Jesus, I celebrate
A home where I feel so alive

Chorus:
