The Cost Lyrics - Mortification

In 1920, a young man of 14 

Declared himself to be, a preacher of the faith 

Second World War 

A German who loved the Lord 

Preached for all to hear, facing all adversity 

The cost, of discipleship 

The cost, to stand against all evil 

Dietrich Bonhoeffer 

Lived and was martyred for the 

Christian faith. 

The cross, we all must bear 

The cross, under which there is no fear 

Live and die, for what we believe 

No liberal theology

In the 1940's, a hero of the faith 

Refused to stop preaching the gospel 

He saw the evil in the Third Reich 

Had to protect the weak and the oppressed. 

He rescued the Jews to neutral Switzerland 

Stood for the Lord, in the face of Hitler 

Martyred for his faith, 9 days before freedom

Are we prepared to die for our faith in 

Jesus Christ 

Now fear is gone as we long for home. 

The true church, that is a miracle 

Standing for Christ, in the face of death
