| Well, I pledge my head to heaven for the gospel,
|
| And I ask no man on earth to fill my needs.
|
| Like the sparrow up above, I am enveloped in his love,
|
| And I trust him like those little ones, he feeds.
|
| Well I pledge my wife to heaven, for the gospel,
|
| Though our love each passing day just seems to grow.
|
| As I told her when we wed, Id surely rather be found dead,
|
| Than to love her more than the one who saved my soul.
|
| Im your child, and I want to be in your family forever.
|
| Im your child, and Im going to follow you,
|
| No matter whatever the cost, Im gonna count all things lost.
|
| Well I pledge my son to heaven for the gospel.
|
| Though hes kicked and beaten, ridiculed and scorn.
|
| I will teach him to rejoice, and life a thankful praising voice,
|
| And to be like him who bore the nails and crown of thorns.
|
| Im your child, and I want to be in your family forever.
|
| Im your child, and Im going to follow you,
|
| No matter whatever the cost, Im gonna count all things lost.
|
| Oh no matter whatever the cost, Im gonna count all things lost.
|
| Well Ive had the chance to gain the world, and to live just like a king,
|
| But without your love, it doesnt mean a thing.
|
| Oh no matter whatever the cost, Im gonna count all things lost,
|
| Oh no matter whatever the cost, Im gonna count all things lost.
|
| Well I pledge my son, I pledge my wife, I pledge my head to heaven,
|
| I pledge my son, I pledge my wife, I pledge my head to heaven, for the gospel. |
