To Obey Is Better Than Sacrifice

[caitlincares]

To obey is better than sacrifice,​

I don't need your money, I want your life.​

And I hear you say that I'm coming back soon,​

But you act like I'll never return.​

Well you speak of grace and my love so sweet,​

How you thrive on milk, but reject my meat,​

And I can't help weeping of how it will be,​

If you keep on ignoring my words.​

Well you pray to prosper and succeed,​

But your flesh is something I just can't feed.​

To obey is better than sacrifice.​

I want more than Sunday and Wednesday nights,​

Cause if you can't come to me every day,​

Then don't bother coming at all.​

Lah, lah,lah….​

To obey is better than sacrifice.​

I want hearts of fire, not your prayers of ice.​

And I'm coming quickly, to give back to you,​

According to what you have done,​

According to what you have done,​

According to what you have done.​

I think the words are a great thing to focus on with the New Year approaching.

 

[Crispie]

Our greatest sacrifice is one of our greatest acts of obediance, that is, when we give up all our worldy ways and dedicate our lives to our Lord.

Yes, I fully agree with this. This has become my theme for living for the past two or three years, or so. While I always knew this, it just never truly meant anything until a few years ago. Thanks for posting.

I love that song! It is a good meditation for the new year.
