(Verse 1)
There were things I held so dear, ambitions burning bright,
A life of ease and comfort, bathed in worldly light.
Success and recognition, pleasures I pursued,
But a hollow ache remained, a longing misunderstood.

(Chorus)
But Jesus Christ is better, far beyond compare,
Than all the fleeting treasures, the things I used to share.
A price I had to pay, to leave the path behind,
But the joy of His salvation, leaves earthly gains confined.

(Verse 2)
There's a price to follow Jesus, a cross I must embrace,
To turn my back on comfort, to find His saving grace.
The world may mock and wonder, at the choice I've made,
But the peace that He provides, is a price beyond all trade.


(Chorus)
But Jesus Christ is better, far beyond compare,
Than all the fleeting treasures, the things I used to share.
A price I had to pay, to leave the path behind,
But the joy of His salvation, leaves earthly gains confined.


(Bridge)
There's a price to pay for sin, a season of delight,
A fleeting, hollow pleasure, that ends in endless night.
Easy now, hard later, a tempting, whispered plea,
But hard now, easy later, is the path He shows to me.

(Chorus)
But Jesus Christ is better, far beyond compare,
Than all the fleeting treasures, the things I used to share.
A price I had to pay, to leave the path behind,
But the joy of His salvation, leaves earthly gains confined.


(Outro)
So I choose the narrow pathway, the road that leads above,
For Jesus Christ is better, sealed with His endless love.
Hard now, easy later, His promise clear and true,
Eternal life with Jesus, a reward forever new.
