As we look around at the rubble and trouble in the world, this verse comes to mind:
“We brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it.”1 Timothy 6:7
Looking forward to leaving it all behind one day... but in the meantime, let's stay ready to help with whatever is needed, whatever it takes.
This will be the opening track of Sweet Crystal's next full album release '8' slated for mid-2024.
lyrics
Whatever Is Needed, Whatever It Takes
We are born to stand together, we are here to help the poor
We are meant to feed the hungry, doing all we can and then do more
Guided and directed, no longer lost
We are soldiers in His army, defenders of the Cross
Standing on a Word that’s true
His Promise to always do
Whatever is needed, whatever it takes
Families of the fallen, it’s for you we say a prayer
Hearing of your heartbreak, please know we truly care
To give up seems so easy; to stay this course too hard
But you’ll find the load gets lighter when you give it up to the Lord
And start standing on a Word that’s true
On His Promise to always do
Whatever is needed, whatever it takes
In all we say and all we do
The Light of Christ will come shining through
Sins forgiven, lives renewed
This is what He will do for you
The path that’s lies before us it offers a new start
This is how we change the world
With open arms and loving hearts
Guided and directed, no longer lost
We are soldiers in his army, defenders of His Cross
Standing on a Word that’s true
His Promise to always do
Whatever is needed, whatever it takes
Whatever is needed, whatever it takes
