The Price
Before this earth when I lived up above,
Did I know I would lose my one true love?
Of Abraham, the Lord asked Isaac's life.
Did I know he would ask of me, my wife -
A sacrifice required so great to bear,
To be the seed of Abraham his heir?
To join with him around our Father's throne,
For now, I must endure here all alone.
To hell, below all things my Savior went.
Within Gethsemane, His blood He spent.
To think that I could join Him without strife -
'Tis not the plan for me in mortal life.
This is the price to learn to be like God.
Upon a path of trials, I must plod.
Through pain and crushing sorrow here below,
A boundless joy so sure I'll come to know.
Perhaps then, yes, I knew I'd lose my wife,
A pathway to obtain eternal life.
