jocerut, Sorry but I must have copied the lyrics to two songs.I heard this song today for the first time and it is beautiful.
Here are the correct lyrics.
Words by Lanny and Marietta Wolfe
WHATEVER IT TAKES
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."
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.
Take the dearest things to me if that's how it must be
To draw me closer to Thee;
Let the disappointments come, lonely days without the sun
If through sorrow more like You I'll become.
Take my houses and lands, all my dreams and my plans
For I'm placing my whole life in Your hands
And if you call me today to a land far away
Lord, I'll go, and Your will obey.
I'll trade sunshine for rain, comfort for pain
That's what I'll be willing to do;
For whatever it takes for my will to break
That's what I'll be willing to do.
