What Will It Take

Some people stumble 
And some people fall 
Others ignore You 
When You give Your last call 

Some people listen 
To the world and it's lies 
What will it take Lord 
To open their eyes 

Some people worry 
And some just don't care 
They claim that they know You 
And say a long prayer 

Some are too busy 
To lend You their ear 
What will it take Lord 
To make them all hear 

Will it take a mountain to crumble and fall 
Before they truly believe 
Or will they pay the price of sin 
The same as Adam and Eve 

Will it take a flood to cover the earth 
Or blood to cover the sea 
Or will it take a Trumpet to sound 
Before they bend their knee
