Story behind the song
Mark sent me an email about wanting to write a song about what it must have taken for the Lord to fulfil the plan set out for Him and what it took to face the cross. We worked on it together and here it is.
Lyrics
What Did It Take By Heather Duncan and Mark E. Ellis A D Verse 1: What did it take in the Garden that night A F#m E To plead, “Abba, take this cup of Mine” A F#m And what did it take to stay true to Your plan, D Bm E Crying, “Father, not My will but Thine.” A D Verse 2: "What did it take, at Gethsemane, A F#m E To stand firm as You were betrayed A F#m And what did it take to know that our God D Bm E Esus Would forsake You the very next day. Chorus A (B) D (E) It took love beyond all measure A (B) E (F#) Love beyond belief A (B) D (E) Love come down to us from heaven F#m (G#m) E(F#) A(B) F#m D E To all given free A D Verse 3: What did it take, for You as the Word, A F#m E To keep silent when You were accused A F#m What did it take, oh Lord of creation, D Bm E Esus To be spit on and mocked and abused Chorus A D Verse 4: What did it take for You to press on A F#m E While bearing the cross for all men A F#m What did it take, when they drove in the nails D Bm E Esus To still ask forgiveness for them Repeat Chorus Bridge A/C# D E A You gave up Your glory, suffered such agony A/C# F G E (Key Change to B) And when "it was finished," died for sinners like me Repeat chorus to end
