Michael Card - What Will It Take lyrics

rate me

(To keep you from Jesus)

Michael Card

What will it take to keep you from Jesus

Keep you from heeding His call

The simple excuse of a heart that is hard

A reason that's nothing at all

And there was a man who was owned by his money

He was as rich as could be

But deep in his heart was a voice that was crying

Telling him he wasn't free

When he questioned the Master

Concerning his problem

The answer took his breath away

For his money had come to mean more than his soul

Forever would stand in his way

Chorus

What will it take to keep you from Jesus

Keep you from heeding His call

The simple excuse of a heart that is hard

A reason that's nothing at all

And how long before you stop with your reasons

Take your defenses away

It's only a lie that keeps you from following

Don't let it stand in your way

So many excuses and so many lies

Are blocking the Light and the Way

But the final decision to follow the Lord

Can shatter and blow them away

Once there was one who was lame in his body

Sick in his body and soul

Though he didn't know all the facts about Jesus

He knew that he longed to be whole

So with some of his friends

He went seeking and found him

So many stood in their way

So they tore through the roof

And they lowered him down

For nothing could keep him away

Chorus
