Letra de «What Will It Take (To Keep You From Jesus)»
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

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
