on To Obey Is Better Than Sacrifice

My friend shared something close to his heart in the staff devotions this morning, and he ended off with this old, old song. He mentioned it was a song that you can't really sit down quietly to listen to... and it's true.

May this ministers to you~

To Obey Is Better Than Sacrifice
Keith Green
1978 Birdwing Music


		     D      A	        Bm    D
		To obey is better than sacrifice
			 G	   A	    D	      A
		I don't need your money, I want your life
		       D        A	    Bm    	 D
		And I hear you say that I'm coming back soon,
			 G	       A	D
		But you act like I'll never return.


		         D       A	      Bm       D
		Oh you speak of love and My grace so sweet
			   G	   A	      D	      A
		How you thrive on milk but reject my meat
			D          A	    Bm    	 D
		And I can't help weeping at how it will be
			 G	  A	     D
		If you keep on ignoring My Word.


		     D      A	        Bm    D
		To obey is better than sacrifice
			G	  A	      D	         A
		I want more than Sundays and Wednesday nights
			   D         A	       Bm    D
		'Cause if you can't come to Me everyday,
		      G		   A	     D
		Then don't bother coming at all.


 		     D      A	        Bm    D
		To obey is better than sacrifice
			 G	  A	    	  D	    A
		I want hearts of fire, not your prayers of ice
			 D      A	   Bm           D
		And I'm coming quickly to give back to you 
		   G	      A	     	    D
		According to what you have done.
