Lose My Life

THE COST OF FOLLOWING JESUS // Mark 8:27-38

We continue our series through Mark's Gospel focussing our attention on Peter's profession of faith, 'You are the Christ', and upon Jesus's sobering words for all those who chose to follow Him.

Graham Phillips - The Cost of Following Jesus

Taking responsibility; are we sitting on the side lines waiting for someone to tell us what to do, getting distracted by ourselves rather than stepping in to help one another. Or are we going to take ownership like the Good Samaritan in Luke 10:25-37? Even if we feel inadequate, God equips us to doing the best we can.

Lyrics:

Intro-
Good God, it's holding me down,
Cuz in the midst of my trials
I got a smile on my face,
Cuz God is in His place,
And I'm not trippin, no way

Verse-
I know that life moves so fast,
So my eyes are fixed on you God
I know these trials won't last,
My life is hid with you God

Gotta let go, no you gotta let go (x3)
Gotta let go, and let God take control

Hook-
You're holding me down down down down (x4)

Verse 2-
I know this time I spend here
Is only temporary
So I will trust in You God,
Though down these roads are scary
Live life, love God, think twice,
Don't go on your own understanding
Cuz God is chillin' in the sky,
Behold the beauty of our king

Gotta let go, no you gotta let go (x3)
Gotta let go, and let God take control

Hook-
You're holding me down down down down (x4)

Outro-
Haha, all glory to the risen King
Montell Fish, Chris Howland
Let me see you just clap, just clap, just clap, haha
Oh man, God is so good

Had the pleasure of remixing this DOPE track by up and coming UK artist Mid November! I love this dude's style, stay tuned for more music from me and him :) 

Hope everyone is staying safe and feeling the peace and comfort of God. He is good, He is in control, and He cares for His children. Draw near to Him, and He will draw near to you.
