Don Godwin - So You Say Lyrics

Say you wanna serve me, so you say
Say you got to have me, go my way (Go my way)
Say you wanna see me in your life
Have you counted the cost
And will you pay the price?

Will you give a cup of water to an enemy
Who finally is defenseless in your hands?
Can you hold the broken bodies in a leper colony
Far from the comfort of your friends?
Would you give away the money that you've saved for years
To feed the hungry ones you saw today?
Could you speak for me in places where I don't seem near
Where you are hated for your faith?

Say you wanna serve me, so you say
Say you got to have me, go my way (Go my way)
Say you wanna see me in your life
Have you counted the cost
And will you pay the price?

Can you offer your forgiveness to the ones you know
Who took away the things you valued more?
Can you overlook their failures and recognize your own
Tell them I am the Open Door?
Will you let those who exalt you take the highest place
Can you trust me though you seem to lose?
Will you give up all your searching to seek alone my face
Will you all other roads refuse?

Say you wanna serve me, so you say
Say you got to have me, go my way (Go my way)
Say you wanna see me in your life
Have you counted the cost
And will you pay the price?

Are you in it for the glamour, did you sign up just to see
The popular acceptance of your friends?
Are you hoping for a lifetime of high prosperity
Responding to the great religious trends?
Do you have a lot of sources for the answers people need
Among which I am just another choice
While those around are screaming, telling you the way
Will you still listen for my voice?

Say you wanna serve me, so you say
Say you got to have me, go my way (Go my way)
Say you wanna see me in your life
Have you counted the cost
And will you pay the price?

Can you suffer and be silent, do you understand the cross
Endure it for the crown that waits ahead
Will you give up all the comforts, the glitter and the gloss
For a prison room instead
Will you speak when comes the day that those around you run
And the goin' price for courage is your life?
You'll be my disciple, you will be the one
You're gonna rule with me on high

Say you wanna serve me, so you say
Say you got to have me, go my way (Go my way)
Say you wanna see me in your life
Have you counted the cost
And will you pay the price?

Say you wanna serve me, so you say
Say you got to have me, go my way (Go my way)
Say you wanna see me in your life
Have you counted the cost
And will you pay the price?
Say you wanna serve me, so you say
Say you got to have me, go my way
Say you wanna see me in your life
Have you counted the cost
And will you pay the price?
