I Cost TOO Much
by Tameka Newkirk © 2009

I was invited to a party where ungodly things would appear,
I replied, I cost too much to be caught in here!

I was offered some drugs to help calm my nerves,
I replied, I cost too much, to be caught in reserve!

I was offered some BIG money to tell a little lie.
I replied, I cost too much, how much of it would I see if I die?

I was offered a job if I would let down my guard,
I replied, I cost too much, to be playing in the yard!

I was offered many material things, if I would denounce the name of Christ,
I replied, I cost too much, to curse my God, who paid the ultimate price!

So when you're asked to slip into a little sin,
Tell them, I cost too much, and I've got the greater within!
