sacrifice

i heard the call
the knock at the door
can i go on living
as i had before?
what i know in thought
my actions will deny...
to find new life
something old must die.

when i gave my life to Jesus
did i give it all away?
when i asked Him to come in,
did i plan for Him to stay?
is it just a title?
or a change of life?
is it a passing feeling?
or a sacrifice?

am i willing to surrender
the will to live for me?
will i surpass the pleasures
that nailed Him to the tree?
what has been the cost?
will i pay the price?
will it be with words?
or will it be my life?
