To Hear You And Obey

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I find myself praying often

For wisdom to walk through

The ups and downs of every day.

I turn, in faith, to You.

 

But when the struggle has passed by,

I’m back about my life.

I think I’ve got this on my own,

Until I face more strife.

 

You’ve spoken to me every day.

I know, for I’ve heard You.

You offer guidance and advice

In everything I do.

 

I try to listen when You speak,

But then go my own way.

I find I forget or dismiss

Too much of what You say.

 

I pray I'll listen when You speak,

But this, Lord, even more,

I pray I'll hear You and obey,

Not listen, then ignore.

 

1 Peter 1: 14-15

As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance, but as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct
