What Does it Take? Lyrics

I stood up
You stayed in your chair
You didn't get it
You even looked put out
But I had no doubt
You'd see the change and someday do the same
That was quite awhile ago

The days are getting shorter
They're expecting record lows

If you could hear me pray tonight
Would you be angry or surprised
To hear your name announced
Followed by a pause or even tears
Like I've done for all these years

The days are getting shorter
I suspect it's gonna snow

What does it take to make you see
The love inside of me?
What does it take to make you see
The truth that I believe?
What does it take to make you see
The pain it's causing me?
Why can't you see?

The days are getting shorter
But I won't surrender hope

What does it take to make you see
The love inside of me?
What does it take to make you see
The truth that I believe?
Is there a stone I've left unturned?
Is there a way I've not explored?
What does it take to shake your world?
To turn you to my Lord?
