Worth The Cost | Spirit and I

The Story

We all hold onto things we think define us — our reputations, our savings, or our carefully curated images of success. To the outside world, giving those up for the sake of faith looks like a total loss. But this song captures the shift in perspective that happens when you realize that what you thought you were "losing" was actually preventing you from finding anything real. It’s a prayer about breaking the seal on your own defenses and realizing that the only thing truly worth holding onto is the One who bled for you.

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I brought the treasure that I saved for years Mixed with the salt of a thousand tears The world calls it waste, they call it a loss But I see the shadow, I see the cross So I break the seal and I let it pour I won’t keep a drop for myself anymore. [Chorus] You are worth the cost! You are worth it all! At Your feet is the only place to fall! Every treasure, every crown Is a hollow gift until I lay it down You are worth the cost! You are worth it all! [Verse 2] The room is filled with a sweet perfume A holy light in a heavy room They whisper of silver, they whisper of greed But You are the only thing that I need The hands that will bleed are the hands I kiss There is no higher honor than this. [Chorus] You are worth the cost! You are worth it all! At Your feet is the only place to fall! Every treasure, every crown Is a hollow gift until I lay it down You are worth the cost! You are worth it all! [Bridge] It’s not a waste if it’s given to You It’s not a loss if I’m starting anew Take my best, take my breath, take my soul [Crescendo] YOU ARE THE PRIZE! YOU ARE THE GOAL! [Chorus] You are worth the cost! You are worth it all! At Your feet is the only place to fall! Every treasure, every crown Is a hollow gift until I lay it down You are worth the cost! You are worth it all! [Outro] Broken for You... Poured out for You... You are worth it all.
