OBEDIENCE IS BETTER THAN SACRIFICE
Lyrics and music by Stan C. Countz
It’s true that wise men still do seek Him
But without faith it’s impossible to please Him
Without hope you can never find Him
Without love you can never see Him
‘Cuz obedience is better than sacrifice
Noah obeyed and saved the whole human race
Abraham obeyed and was the father of many nations
Moses obeyed and His people were saved
Jesus brought us grace and salvation
Obedience is better than sacrifice
But He wants us to obey Him from our heart
Obedience may cause us to pay a price
But it can lead to a brand new start
It can bring to us a brand new life
He wants us to share, to watch and to pray
To give and to care, to love and obey
How dare we say we walk by faith
If we ‘re not willing to turn from our wicked ways?
‘Cuz obedience is better than sacrifice
Joseph saved His people from death and famine
Esther saved her people from the edge of the knife
Jesus said we cannot serve both God and mammon
‘Cuz obedience is better than sacrifice
We may have faith so as to move a mountain
We may have hope and the peace of a dove
We may have joy that springs up like a fountain
but we have nothing if we don’t have His love
We’re nothing but a clanging cymbal
We’re nothing but a burned out ember
So help us obey the words of Christ
And help us to always remember (that)
Obedience is better than sacrifice
But He wants us to obey Him from our heart
Obedience may cause us to pay a price
But it can lead to a brand new start
It can bring to us a brand new life
It’s true that wise men still do seek Him
But without faith it’s impossible to please Him
Without hope you can never find Him
Without love you can never see Him
‘Cuz obedience is better than sacrifice
Noah obeyed and saved the whole human race
Abraham obeyed and was the father of many nations
Moses obeyed and His people were saved
Jesus brought us grace and salvation
Obedience is better than sacrifice
But He wants us to obey Him from our heart
Obedience may cause us to pay a price
But it can lead to a brand new start
It can bring to us a brand new life
He wants us to share, to watch and to pray
To give and to care, to love and obey
How dare we say we walk by faith
If we ‘re not willing to turn from our wicked ways?
‘Cuz obedience is better than sacrifice
Joseph saved His people from death and famine
Esther saved her people from the edge of the knife
Jesus said we cannot serve both God and mammon
‘Cuz obedience is better than sacrifice
We may have faith so as to move a mountain
We may have hope and the peace of a dove
We may have joy that springs up like a fountain
but we have nothing if we don’t have His love
We’re nothing but a clanging cymbal
We’re nothing but a burned out ember
So help us obey the words of Christ
And help us to always remember (that)
Obedience is better than sacrifice
But He wants us to obey Him from our heart
Obedience may cause us to pay a price
But it can lead to a brand new start
It can bring to us a brand new life
