Whatever It Takes

D G D There’s a voice calling me from an old rugged tree D And it whispers E A “Draw closer to Me D Leave this world far behind G EM There are new heights to climb D A D And a new life in Me you will find” D G D For whatever it takes to draw closer to You, Lord D E A That’s what I’ll be willing to do D G EM And whatever it takes to be more like You D A D That’s what I’ll be willing to do D Take the dearest things to me G D E A If that’s how it must be to draw me closer to Thee D Let the disappointments come G EM Lonely days without the sun D A D If in sorrow more like You I’ll become D G D For whatever it takes to draw closer to You, Lord D E A That’s what I’ll be willing to do D G EM And whatever it takes to be more like You D A D That’s what I’ll be willing to do D Take my houses and Lands G D Change my dreams and my plans D E A My whole life I place in your hands D And if you call me someday G EM To a Land far away D A D Lord I'll go, and Your will obey G D I’ll trade sunshine for rain, comfort for pain E A That’s what I’ll be willing to do AM D G EM For whatever it takes for my will to break D A D That’s what I’ll be willing to do D A D That’s what I’ll be willing to do D A D G D
