1. When first I started to seek the Lord, I???m glad I counted the cost; I fully measured to Jesus??? Word; I???m glad I counted the cost. * Refrain: I???ve paid the price and obtained the prize, He saved my soul that was lost; And now my treasures are in the skies, I???m glad I counted the cost. 2. I laid my sorrows at Jesus??? feet, I???m glad I counted the cost; And now I???ve pleasures so pure and sweet, I???m glad I counted the cost. 3. I???ve bid farewell to this world of sin, I???m glad I counted the cost; And now my Jesus abides within, I???m glad I counted the cost. 4. I cast on Jesus my every care, I???m glad I counted the cost; And all my burdens He helps to bear, I???m glad I counted the cost. 5. ???Twill not be long till the Lord shall come, I???m glad I counted the cost; And bear my soul to that heav???nly home, I???m glad I counted the cost.
