“Whatever it takes.” What a difficult phrase. It means giving God unqualified praise, All the while yielding, whatever the cost, To what seems to the flesh a horrible cross.”
Yet all the while knowing, as your heart becomes still, That nothing else matters but doing His will. So, you quietly cry, e’en as your heart breaks, “Oh, precious Lord, do – whatever it takes!”
