What Did It Cost?

What did it cost our Savior to give us eternal life?
What did it cost our Savior to give us peace and light?
What did it cost our Savior to take our dreadful curse?
What did it cost our Savior to take what we deserved?

It cost ev’rything, ev’rything, Heaven was emptied that day
It cost ev’rything, ev’rything to save us from sin’s dark grave

What did it cost our Savior to come to this world below?
What did it cost our Savior to come and stoop so low?
What did it cost our Savior? A manger in Bethlehem knows
A seed must die and be buried before the flower grows

It cost ev’rything, ev’rything, Heaven was emptied that day
It cost ev’rything, ev’rything to save us from sin’s dark grave
