Whatever It Takes Poem by Tom Zart

The Father has provided the Holy Spirit
To teach believers to follow His will.
When we make decisions based on emotion
We let life rob us of our purpose to fulfill.


If our primary focus is on the immediate
Our emphasis remains mostly ourselves.
Short-term focus prevents serving the Lord
As we leave our Bibles upon their shelves.

How much study does it take to foresee
What our heavenly Father has planned for all.
The answer is simple whatever it takes
To submit, love, trust and heed His call.

Always remember that our earthly desires
Shall someday come to their end.
But Jesus remains at our side forever
Devoted to our needs as Savior and friend.

God delights in our prayers, love and passions
He tells us to pray for all which is dear.
We do our finest as Christians and humans
When we let His promise override our fear.
