Costly Worship Lyrics

By Israel Houghton

Lyrics


I remember what you did
Your nail scarred hands are the evidence
That your love goes the distance, time and again
I remember who you are
Son of man, son of suffering
You saved me when I could save myself

So I won't bring an offering
That doesn't cost my heart a thing
A treasure fit for heaven's King
Is costly worship
I won't sing an empty song
To you the highest praise belongs
I'll break the jar of finest oil and pour it out

How sweet, how sweet the name of Jesus
How precious is the Saviour's blood that washed me clean
How sweet, how sweet the name of Jesus
How great, how great the cost that heaven paid for me

Now I'm covered by the grace
That flowed from the crown of thorns
It was my sin that held you on that tree
So my soul will praise
For the Father is satisfied
To look upon your wounds and pardon me

So I won't bring an offering
That doesn't cost my heart a thing
A treasure fit for heaven's King
Is costly worship
I won't sing an empty song
To you the highest praise belongs
I'll break the jar of finest oil and pour it out

How sweet, how sweet the name of Jesus
How precious is the Saviour's blood that washed me clean
How sweet, how sweet the name of Jesus
How great, how great the cost that heaven paid for me

How sweet, how sweet the name of Jesus
How precious is the Saviour's blood that washed me clean
How sweet, how sweet the name of Jesus
How great, how great the cost that heaven paid for me

So I won't bring an offering
that doesn't cost my heart a thing
A treasure fit for heaven's King
Is costly worship

I won't sing an empty song
To you the highest praise belongs
I'll break the jar of finest oil
And pour it out

This praise cannot be bought or sold
The fragrance of surrendered souls
Purified refined as gold
It's costly worship

And as we kneel before your throne
Surrounded by angelic hosts
We cast our crowns to you alone
As costly worship

Eternity will welcome now
The lost you came to reconcile
A hundred million hallelujahs pouring out

So pour it out, pour it out
Costly worship
So pour it out, pour it out
Costly worship
Pour it out, pour it out
Costly worship
Pour it out, pour it out
How sweet, how sweet the name of Jesus
How precious is the Saviour's blood that washed me clean
How sweet, how sweet the name of Jesus
How great, how great the cost that heaven paid for me

How sweet, how sweet the name of Jesus
How precious is the Saviour's blood that washed me clean
How sweet, how sweet the name of Jesus
How great, how great the cost that heaven paid for me
