《What Will It Take》歌词

[00:00:00] What Will It Take (To Keep You From Jesus) - Michael Card

[00:00:15] What will it take to keep you from Jesus

[00:00:19] Keep you from heeding his call

[00:00:23] The simple excuse of a heart that is hard

[00:00:26] A reason that's nothing at all

[00:00:40] And there was a man who was owned by his money

[00:00:44] He was as rich as could be

[00:00:48] But deep in his heart was a voice that was crying

[00:00:52] Telling him he wasn't free

[00:00:55] When he questioned the master

[00:00:57] Concerning his problem

[00:00:59] The answer took his breath away

[00:01:05] For his money had come to mean more than his soul

[00:01:09] Forever would stand in his way

[00:01:15] What will it take to keep you from Jesus

[00:01:18] Keep you from heeding his call

[00:01:22] The simple excuse of a heart that is hard

[00:01:26] A reason that's nothing at all

[00:01:30] And how long before you stop with your reasons

[00:01:34] Take your defenses away

[00:01:40] It's only a lie that keeps you from following

[00:01:44] Don't let it stand in your way

[00:01:47] So many excuses and so many lies

[00:01:51] Are blocking the light and the way

[00:01:55] But the final decision to follow the Lord

[00:01:59] Can shatter and blow them away

[00:02:22] Once there was one who was lame in his body

[00:02:26] Sick in his body and soul

[00:02:30] Though he didn't know all the facts about Jesus

[00:02:33] He knew that he longed to be whole

[00:02:37] So with some of his friends

[00:02:39] He went seeking and found him

[00:02:41] So many stood in their way

[00:02:46] So they tore through the roof

[00:02:48] And they lowered him down

[00:02:51] For nothing could keep him away

[00:02:57] What will it take to keep you from Jesus

[00:03:00] Keep you from heeding his call

[00:03:04] The simple excuse of a heart that is hard

[00:03:08] A reason that's nothing at all

[00:03:12] And how long before you stop with your reasons

[00:03:16] Take your defenses away

[00:03:21] It's only a lie that keeps you from following

[00:03:25] Don't let it stand in your way
