Songs on a Sunday: Anything That Costs Me Nothing


I heard this song for the first time in church today. The message really struck me because it was David's actual desire. He truly did not want to give God something that was free and easy. Yet it seems to me, that what we all want today is to give God the least that we can possibly get away with and still please Him. What has happened to the desire to please God no matter what the cost?

Anything That Costs Me Nothing

An offering of highest price, a servant whom the Lord can use. 
I will not offering anything that costs me nothing. 
I'll place before Him nothing less than my very best. 
And if I am called to sacrifice, 
It will be worthy of my Christ.
I will not offer anything that costs me nothing.

To serve Him is my goal. How could I withhold? 
Whatever's mine He's given me, it's not my own, but His alone. 
Whatever He requires, that is my desire. 
Whatever He may need from me I'll pay the cost, gain or loss. 

I will not offer anything that costs me nothing. 
I'll place before Him nothing less than my very best. 
And if I'm called to sacrifice, 
It will be worthy of my Christ. 
I will not offer anything that costs me nothing.

And if I am called to sacrifice, 
It will be worthy of my Christ. 
I will not offer anything that costs me nothing.

    1. Exactly! It was new to me too, but it made me really stop and think.

    2. Was it a congregational hymn? Or a special?

    3. It was a special. I also found it on YouTube after church that day, but the style was very different in the YouTube versions (some were more country and others had slightly different tunes).
