“How to Live Out an Obedient Life” | New English Gospel 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.
