[Verse 1]
Some want the crown but they won't bear their cross
It takes everything to serve the Lord
Some want bright mansions but they won't pay the cost
It takes everything to serve the Lord

[Chorus]
It takes your hands and your head and your heart, yes, it takes your all
It takes everything to serve the Lord
It takes your time and your means and your prayers, lest you fall
It takes everything to serve the Lord

[Verse 2]
Somе wear His name while thеy still live in shame
It takes everything to serve the Lord
You know they wanna be seen but they don't want to be clean
It takes everything to serve the Lord

[Chorus]
It takes your hands and your head and your heart, yes, it takes your all
It takes full surrender to serve my Lord
It takes your time and your means and your prayers, lest you fall
It takes everything to serve my Lord
