When Praise Demands A Sacrifice Lyrics

By Larnelle Harris

Verse 1

The call to go to Mount Moriah

Came to Abraham

But the offering placed before the Lord

Was not a lamb

He bound His only son

And as the knife was raised

A sacrifice became the price of praise



Chorus

When praise demands a sacrifice

I'll worship even then

Surrendering the dearest things in life

And if devotion costs me all

He'll find me faithful to His call

When praise demands a sacrifice



Verse 2

The call to go to Calvary

Had come to God's own Son

For an altar waited for the lamb

He would become

His hands reached up to heaven

As the cross was raised

And with His life

He paid the price of praise



Chorus

When praise demands a sacrifice

I'll worship even then

Surrendering the dearest things in life

And if devotion costs me all

He'll find me faithful to His call

When praise demands a sacrifice



God hears the words of praise we lift

Yet I have found

He's honored more

By what I'm willing to lay down



When praise demands a sacrifice

I'll worship even then

Surrendering the dearest things in life

And if devotion costs me all

He'll find me faithful to His call

When praise demands a sacrifice
