(To keep you from Jesus)   Michael Card  What will it take to keep you from Jesus  Keep you from heeding His call  The simple excuse of a heart that is hard  A reason that's nothing at all  And there was a man who was owned by his money  He was as rich as could be  But deep in his heart was a voice that was crying  Telling him he wasn't free  When he questioned the Master  Concerning his problem  The answer took his breath away  For his money had come to mean more than his soul  Forever would stand in his way  Chorus  What will it take to keep you from Jesus  Keep you from heeding His call  The simple excuse of a heart that is hard  A reason that's nothing at all  And how long before you stop with your reasons  Take your defenses away  It's only a lie that keeps you from following  Don't let it stand in your way  So many excuses and so many lies  Are blocking the Light and the Way  But the final decision to follow the Lord  Can shatter and blow them away  Once there was one who was lame in his body  Sick in his body and soul  Though he didn't know all the facts about Jesus  He knew that he longed to be whole  So with some of his friends  He went seeking and found him  So many stood in their way  So they tore through the roof  And they lowered him down  For nothing could keep him away  Chorus
