Ask me if I believe in God and I'll say
Yes, with all of my heart
And I'll tell you I do
With the last breath I take
That He is the one I belong to

Ask me to give up my life and I will
Whatever it takes to obey
For I know that as Jesus
Was brought back to life
I will also as roses in springtime

Chorus:
Whatever it takes
I will be one
Who lives In the fresh
Newness of life
Of those who are alive
From the dead
Whatever the cost
Whatever it takes I will be one
Whatever It takes

Ask me if I would die
For my faith
With His strength I pray that I would
Jesus said if a man
Would give up his life
He would surely gain it back again
He said, "Whoever serves me
must follow me
And where I am my servant will be
And my Father will honor the one who
serves me
Who lays down his life
For my sake"

(Chorus)

Now I have given up
On everything else
For I know it to be
The only way
To really know Christ
And experience His Might
That brought Him back to life again
And find out what it really means to suffer

And die with Him ... so...

Whatever it takes
I will be one
Who lives in the fresh
Newness of life
Of those who are alive
From the dead
Whatever the cost

Whatever it takes
I will be one
Who lives in the fresh
Newness of life
Of those who are alive
From the dead
Whatever the cost
Whatever It takes I will be one
Whatever it takes I will be one
Whatever it takes I will be one
Whatever it takes...
Whatever it takes
