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 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

Some wear his name

While they still live in shame

It takes everything to serve the Lord

You know they want to be seen

But they don't want to live clean

It takes everything to serve the Lord

It takes your hands

And your head

And your heart

Yes takes your all

It takes for Serena to serve my Lord

It takes your time and your means

And your prayers lest you fall

It takes everything to serve my Lord
