AN OBEDIENT LIFE

We can stand and move

  when we want to go.

But to just stand still,

   and take it slow –

Takes faith and trust

   in God’s own plan.

He’s in control,

   it’s in His Hand.

But standing up

   when He says “Move,”

Is just as hard,

   For you then prove – 

That you are willing

   to give your all,

To hear His voice,

   to heed His call.

And then to stand

   and wait to see,

His mighty Arm,

   and let things be –

Shows grace and strength

   drawn from His Word.

An obedient life,

   a heart assured.
