It Takes Everything to Serve the Lord - Little Richard

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

It takes your hands and your head and your heart

Yes, it takes you 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

Some wear His name while they still live in shame

It takes everything to serve the Lord

You know who they wanna seen

But they don’t want to clean

It takes everything to serve the Lord

It takes your hands and your head and your heart

Yes, it takes you 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
