Romans 12

Is this the price I have to pay
For a closer walk with thee?
To lose the things dear to my life,
The things to important to me?

I feel poured out and empty now
With nothing left inside.
I feel so lost and directionless,
I feel as if I died.

But you require this death in me
To die that I might live.
That I might live my life for you,
And to you my whole life give.

It is a small thing that I do
To lose these things I see.
When compared to what you sacrificed,
When you gave your life for me.
