Ask me if I believe in God and I'll say<br />
Yes, with all of my heart<br />
And I'll tell you I do<br />
With the last breath I take<br />
That He is the one I belong to<br />
Ask me to give up my life and I will<br />
Whatever it takes to obey<br />
For I know that as Jesus<br />
Was brought back to life<br />
I will also as roses in springtime<br />
<br />
Chorus:<br />
Whatever it takes<br />
I will be one<br />
Who lives In the fresh<br />
Newness of life<br />
Of those who are alive<br />
From the dead<br />
Whatever the cost<br />
Whatever it takes I will be one<br />
Whatever It takes<br />
<br />
Ask me if I would die<br />
For my faith<br />
With His strength I pray that I would<br />
Jesus said if a man<br />
Would give up his life<br />
He would surely gain it back again<br />
He said, "Whoever serves me<br />
must follow me<br />
And where I am my servant will be<br />
And my Father will honor the one who<br />
serves me<br />
Who lays down his life<br />
For my sake"<br />
<br />
(Chorus)<br />
<br />
Now I have given up<br />
On everything else<br />
For I know it to be<br />
The only way<br />
To really know Christ<br />
And experience His Might<br />
That brought Him back to life again<br />
And find out what it really means to suffer<br />
<br />
And die with Him ... so...<br />
<br />
Whatever it takes<br />
I will be one<br />
Who lives in the fresh<br />
Newness of life<br />
Of those who are alive<br />
From the dead<br />
Whatever the cost<br />
<br />
Whatever it takes<br />
I will be one<br />
Who lives in the fresh<br />
Newness of life<br />
Of those who are alive<br />
From the dead<br />
Whatever the cost<br />
Whatever It takes I will be one<br />
Whatever it takes I will be one<br />
Whatever it takes I will be one<br />
Whatever it takes...<br />
Whatever it takes
