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.
And whatever it takes
To draw closer to you Lord
That’s what I’ll be willing to do
And whatever it takes to be more like you
That’s what I’ll be willing to do
I’ll trade sun-shine 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.
Take that dew stems thro’ me
If that’s how it must be
To draw me closer to Thee,
Let the disappointments come
Lonely days without a song
If through sorrow more like Thee I’ll be found.
