When Praise Demands a Sacrifice

The call to go to Mount Moriah
Came to Abraham
But the offering placed before the Lord
Was not a lamb
He bound His only son
And as the knife was raised
A sacrifice became the price of praise

When praise demands a sacrifice
I'll worship even then
Surrendering the dearest things in life
And if devotion costs me all
He'll find me faithful to His call
When praise demands a sacrifice

The call to go to Calvary
Had come to God's own Son
For an altar waited for the lamb
He would become
His hands reached up to heaven
As the cross was raised
And with His life
He paid the price of praise

When praise demands a sacrifice
I'll worship even then
Surrendering the dearest things in life
And if devotion costs me all
He'll find me faithful to His call
When praise demands a sacrifice

God hears the words of praise we lift
Yet I have found
He's honored more
By what I'm willing to lay down

When praise demands a sacrifice
I'll worship even then
Surrendering the dearest things in life
And if devotion costs me all
He'll find me faithful to His call
When praise demands a sacrifice

When praise demands a sacrifice
I'll worship even then
Surrendering the dearest things in life
And if devotion costs me all
He'll find me faithful to His call
When praise demands a sacrifice
