Sometimes you wanna laugh, sometimes you wanna cry
You’re just not good enough no matter how you try
So you go on but you know something’s wrong
You meant it when you asked Him in down on your knees
Somehow you lost the thrill and thrills are what you need
To let you know where you’re gonna go
(You struggle on) trying to earn what He’s given you
(You struggle on) He died to give it what more can you do

So consider it, consider it done
That prize you’re fighting for is already won
So consider it, consider it done
You’ll find his work’s just begun
When you consider it done

God helps the ones who help themselves, some people say
But are we helping out or getting in His way
He wants our best and He’ll do the rest
It’s by His grace we’re saved
Not by the things we do
So we’ve got to serve Him with a thankful attitude
And let Him know where He leads we’ll go
(From this day on) our hope’s in Jesus and His work’s complete
(From this day on) He makes his experience our history

So consider it, consider it done
That prize you’re fighting for is already won
So consider it, consider it done
You’ll find his work’s just begun
When you consider it done
