Countz</span><br /><br />It’s true that wise men still do seek Him<br />But without faith it’s impossible to please Him<br />Without hope you can never find Him<br />Without love you can never see Him<br />‘Cuz obedience is better than sacrifice<br /><br />Noah obeyed and saved the whole human race<br />Abraham obeyed and was the father of many nations<br />Moses obeyed and His people were saved <br />Jesus brought us grace and salvation<br /><br />Obedience is better than sacrifice<br />But He wants us to obey Him from our heart<br />Obedience may cause us to pay a price<br />But it can lead to a brand new start<br />It can bring to us a brand new life<br /><br />He wants us to share, to watch and to pray<br />To give and to care, to love and obey<br />How dare we say we walk by faith<br />If we ‘re not willing to turn from our wicked ways?<br />‘Cuz obedience is better than sacrifice<br /><br />Joseph saved His people from death and famine<br />Esther saved her people from the edge of the knife<br />Jesus said we cannot serve both God and mammon<br />‘Cuz obedience is better than sacrifice<br /><br />We may have faith so as to move a mountain<br />We may have hope and the peace of a dove<br />We may have joy that springs up like a fountain<br />but we have nothing if we don’t have His love<br />We’re nothing but a clanging cymbal <br />We’re nothing but a burned out ember<br />So help us obey the words of Christ<br />And help us to always remember (that)<br /><br />Obedience is better than sacrifice<br />But He wants us to obey Him from our heart<br />Obedience may cause us to pay a price<br />But it can lead to a brand new start<br />It can bring to us a brand new life<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6454083740327241088-6377865526038563038?l=obedienceisbetter.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Stan C.
