Nothing Is Really Free

Author Dana Redricks

Ain’t nothing really free 
Ain’t nothing free
The gift that you’ve been given
Somebody paid the cost 
Even the freedom of your liberty
That many take for granted
Came at the price of blood lost 
Somebody paid the cost
Somebody paid the cost
The gift of salvation came at cost
When Jesus sacrificed his life on 
The cross
So don’t take nothing for granted
Everything comes at cost
Some point in our life we come to
The crossroad when we have to measure
The cost of our pleasure
Ain’t nothing really free
Ain’t nothing free
Long hours, hard work
Somebody had to pay the cost
Somebody had to make that sacrifice
