I WILL OBEY

I hear the words of the Lord,
They are true, so I will obey,
I was asked to help the sick,
I said, “I’ll do it another day”.

Oh how the spirit heals my heart,
It guides me into the bright light,
A prompting said, ‘call a friend’,
I didn’t, for it was late at night.

Each meeting stirs my soul with love
And the saints all call me friend,
But Sunday is my only free day,
Church can wait till work’s end.

The sabbath is His special day,
We should worship His name,
I can still shop and watch a film
Relax at a nice gall game.

Oh I will obey, I will do His will,
I’ll stay strong to the gospel true,
As long as it does not get in the way
Off all the other things I have to do.
