[00:02.15].
[00:04.08].
[00:04.83].
[00:08.64]Well, I've sacrificed time with family and friends
[00:13.02]Gave up vacations for work without end
[00:17.45]24/7, 365
[00:21.27]But I was willing to make the sacrifice
[00:25.09].
[00:25.65]But empty or full, I've carried my pale
[00:29.84]You don't drink the water if you don't dig the well
[00:33.89]Through blood sweat and tears I have built a good life
[00:38.32]But it didn't come without sacrifice
[00:41.88].
[00:42.25]But I was gonna be rich no matter how much it cost
[00:46.57]And I was gonna win no matter how much I lost
[00:50.76]All through the years I kept my eye on the prize
[00:54.94]You ask if it's worth the sacrifice, the sacrifice
[01:01.94].
[01:07.82]I think about Jesus and all that he gave
[01:11.88]And the ultimate sacrifice that He made
[01:16.32]He is my strength and my guiding light
[01:20.18]And He's taught me that nothing's without sacrifice
[01:23.71].
[01:24.28]I was gonna be rich no matter how much it cost
[01:28.90]And I was gonna win no matter how much I lost
[01:33.14]I wanted success and, brother, I've paid the price
[01:37.34]And, yes, it's been worth the sacrifice, the sacrifice
[01:45.14].
[01:58.36]I was gonna be rich no matter how much it cost
[02:02.67]And I was gonna win no matter how much I lost
[02:06.92]Grindstones and rhinestones have made up my life
[02:10.80]But I've shined like a diamond through sacrifice
[02:14.61].
[02:15.05]I was gonna be rich no matter how much it cost
[02:19.55]And I was gonna win no matter how much I lost
[02:23.86]But I hope God will tell me, "Well done, my child
[02:27.98]You've won your reward through your sacrifice, the sacrifice"
[02:36.42].
[02:40.23]The sacrifice
[02:48.98]But sometimes I wonder in the still of the night
[02:53.23]Is it really worth the sacrifice
[02:58.11]
[03:06.32]I've often laughed and I've often cried
[03:10.38]I've often failed but I've always tried
[03:14.57]
[03:18.15]I made the sacrifice
[03:20.09].
[03:20.59]
