That was beautiful. I wanted to hear him sing and boy did ever. And no jive, it does take everything to serve our lord, especially when we want to keep the real sabbath holy.
It does take everything to serve the Lord..all we have to do is give HIM permission to guide our steps! HE has made it possible for each and everyone of us. Thank You for reminding US!
This is one of the BEST versions because Mervin accompanied him and rearranged it on the fly. He captured the essence of Elder Kelly’s and somehow managed to make a great song sound a little more personal and beautiful.
*VERSE 1* Some want the crown But they won’t bear their cross It takes everything To serve the Lord Some want bright mansions But they won’t pay the cost ‘Cause it takes everything To serve the Lord. *CHORUS* It takes your hands and your head And your heart, yes it takes your all It takes everything (full surrender) to serve the Lord It takes your time, and your means And your prayers lest you fall It takes everything (everything child) to serve the Lord *VERSE 2* Some wear His name While they still live in shame But it takes everything to serve the Lord They want to be seen But they don’t want to live clean It takes everything to serve the Lord
MERRRRRRRRVYN!!!!!! Please come back to Take 6!! (in all honesty. Whatever his reasons for leaving Take 6, I believe that That he has so much music inside of him ,Steel, Preachers Wife, Handels Messiah..etc he needed to branch out on his own and establish himself as a musical force) I would love to Have Merv Come back and sing with Take 6 again making them a SEPTET :)
I remember seeing Chris Willis mentioned on many Take 6 CD's in the notes by Claude and In Brians CDs too. He is also a musician as well right? Isn't he a drummer?
Yeps.. I knew that ever since he left. It was just speculation back then but, I didnt want to open a can of worms by Talking about his sexual preference so i kinda said what I did, But all that aside he is an awesome musician/composer and Id love to see him back with Take 6 some day :) *God Bless*
Was he attending Oakwood College with the members of Take 6? and If so was he part of the group "Alliance" before they became Take 6? Or one of the former members of the "Gentlemens estate quartet?"
well said but most christian group dont support that lifestyle. i love mervyns talent and gift but it is what it is... same thing happened to Chris Willis one of Brian and Claude Mcknights cousins.

Jacques Tessier his singing style reminds me of Joe Williams, who played Clair Huxtable on the Cosby Show
@@hollisb.flemingii8197 Clair Huxtable was a woman. I rather place him on The Lord's side 💕

It takes everything.

By the way, I was there that night!
Praise the Lord,. I remember when he first start singing that song. He still have a great voice, and anointing.
Rest well, Sir TMK
LOVE THIS SONG, THAT MAKES ME FOCUS ON THE COST OF SERVICE TO THE LORD.
Lord bless me to want my everything to serve the Lord.
And he still sings it today, the same way!
*VERSE 1*
Some want the crown
But they won’t bear their cross
It takes everything
To serve the Lord
Some want bright mansions
But they won’t pay the cost
‘Cause it takes everything
To serve the Lord.
*CHORUS*
It takes your hands and your head
And your heart, yes it takes your all
It takes everything (full surrender) to serve the Lord
It takes your time, and your means
And your prayers lest you fall
It takes everything (everything child) to serve the Lord
*VERSE 2*
Some wear His name
While they still live in shame
But it takes everything to serve the Lord
They want to be seen
But they don’t want to live clean
It takes everything to serve the Lord
It’s your Anniversary of the Date of your Birth next month! Yet You have given Us this Spiritually Enlightening Gift through Song!
Takes everything to serve Ahayah!
Such a divine voice get goosebumps every time 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Is this song a public domain? I have heard a similar virgin titled: Have You Got What it takes to Serve the Lord.
Yeps.. I knew that ever since he left. It was just speculation back then but, I didnt want to open a can of worms by Talking about his sexual preference so i kinda said what I did, But all that aside he is an awesome musician/composer and Id love to see him back with Take 6 some day :)
