Lose your Life

"Then said Jesus unto His disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for My sake shall find it. For what is a man profited, it he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?" (Matthew 16:24-26).

Lose your life for vanity
Or lose your life for Christ.
How dark is the insanity
By emptiness enticed!

The One who came to save your soul
From its eternal loss
Has weighed the price to make us whole,
And paid it on the cross.

Christ decided we were worth
The life He would surrender.
That is why He came to earth
To be our great Defender.

Yet now we have a choice to make:
To follow Christ or not,
And some will make the great mistake,
Exchanging what He bought.

Come, follow after Christ the Lord,
For all who do shall find
That He shall be their great Reward
And give them peace of mind.
