English devotional songs | "How to Live Out an Obedient Life" | New English Christian Song With Lyrics

Verse 1

Your statures are put to test

to see if the church can be built

and if you can obey each other.

Viewed this way, your obedience

is the kind you pick and choose.

You may obey one, but find it

hard to obey someone else.

Chorus

Ponder obedience

and how to make it your life.

Come before God, fellowship on this.

Slowly you will know.

You’ll cast aside conceptions,

letting go of choices within you.

Verse 2

There’s no way to be obedient

relying on human notions.

But the thoughts of God will always

surpass those of man.

Christ obeyed ’till death

and died on the cross,

with no conditions or reasons,

obeyed His Father’s will.

Chorus

Ponder obedience

and how to make it your life.

Come before God, fellowship on this.

Slowly you will know.

You’ll cast aside conceptions,

letting go of choices within you.

Bridge

Your obedience is narrow.

God says obedience is not obeying

people on the outside, but rather,

obeying life within,

obeying God Himself.

God’s words change you from within.

Otherwise, who’d obey whom?

You all disobey others.

Chorus

Ponder obedience

and how to make it your life.

Come before God, fellowship on this.

Slowly you will know.

You’ll cast aside conceptions,

letting go of choices within you, within you.

from Follow the Lamb and Sing New Songs

Almighty God says: "Obedience to God and submission to the work of God are one and the same. Those who submit only to God but not to the work of God cannot be deemed to be obedient, and surely neither can those who do not truly submit and are outwardly sycophantic. Those who truly submit to God are all able to gain from the work and achieve understanding of the disposition and work of God. Only such men truly submit to God. Such men are able to gain new knowledge from new work and experience new changes from the same. Only such men have the approval of God; only this kind of man is one perfected and has undergone a transformation of his disposition. Those approved by God are those who gladly submit to God, as well as to His word and work. Only this kind of man is in the right; only this kind of man truly desires and seeks God."
