There's a voice calling me From an old rugged tree And it whispers draw closer to me Leave this world far behind there are new heights to climb And a new place in me you will find.
Take my houses and land change my dreams and all my plans for I'm placing my whole life in your hands Let the disappointments come Lonely days without the sun lonely days without the sun If through sorrow more like you I become.
Take the dearest things from me if that's how it must be to draw me closer to thee. And if you call me today to a land far away If through sorrow more like you I become.
For whatever it takes to draw closer to you Lord That's what I'll be willing to do For whatever it takes to be more like you That's what I'll be willing to do
I'll trade sunshine for rain comfort for pain Oh that's what I'll be willing to do For whatever it takes, for my will to break Oh that's what I'll be willing to do.
