IN THIS LIFE
[VERSE]
There is nothing that I can give back to GOD
That came from my works, perspirations
Not even the songs of praise I beautifully sung
Nor money and wealth, the fruits of my endeavor
[CHORUS]
Time and time again I am tempted
To ask GOD for everything
From clothes I wear and whom to marry
Healing from sickness and honest labor
[VERSE]
What give me pause are the words HE said to me
“If you love me, keep my commandments”
“Seek ye first the kingdom of GOD and HIS righteousness”
Then things I need which I didn’t ask for, HE’ll give.
[CHORUS]
I don’t tell HIM my needs ‘coz HE knows
I obey ‘coz that’s HIS words
And as my departure is nearing
I have no regrets I made GOD happy
[CODA]
I found it so true
That in this life
Obedience is better
Than sacrifice
