What Will It Take

Verse 1: I really think it’s rather odd
That people have a hate for God
He created you He gave you life
He’s always there when you’re in strife
We all hurt Him so many times
But He never treats it like a crime
He never hesitates to forgive
He’s our only hope to live
Chorus: What will it take? What will it take? For you to give God the respect He deserves
He sent His son, His only son into this cruel and wicked world
To die for all upon a tree
From death and sin He set us free
And He gives us the chance to be
Living with Him_..for all eternity!
Verse 2: It’s so easy so, so plain to see
That God wants the best for you and me
He’ll give you real joy that will last
He’ll set you free from your past
Love God and people with all your heart
Is where He wants you to start
This is the greatest commandment from above
In everything you do, show Christ’s love
Outro: The suffering He went through
The nails in His hands and feet, the spear in His side was all for you
Oh His mercy and grace
The day is coming, the day we’ll see His face
And on that wonderful day
All my pain will drift away
But my love for Him will stay
And multiply, on that wonderful, wonderful day
