Keith Green
Intro: D A Bm D G A D A
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 grace and My love 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.
A D
Well you pray to prosper and succeed
E A
But your flesh is something I just can't feed
Instr: D A Bm D G A D
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.
La-la-la: A D E A
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.
