To Obey Is Better Than Sacrifice
by Keith Green
To obey is better than sacrifice
I don't need your money
I want your life
And I hear you say that I'm coming back soon
But you act like I'll never return
Well you speak of grace and my love so sweet
How you thrive on milk, but reject My meat
And I can't help weeping of how it will be
If you keep on ignoring My words
Well you pray to prosper and succeed
But your flesh is something I just can't feed
To obey is better than sacrifice
I want more than Sunday and Wednesday nights
Cause if you can't come to Me every day
Then don't bother coming at all
La,la,la etc.
To obey is better than sacrifice
I want hearts of fire
Not your prayers of ice
And I'm coming quickly
To give back to you
According to what you have done
According to what you have done
MY PRAYER:
May i OBEY You GOD! I don't want to ignore Your words anymore... You are meant to be my LORD! I should follow You in all Your request. I NEED Your forgiveness for not coming to you everyday! I want to have a real relationship with You... not just on the days that i am in church... God You know that this is true! Make in me a heart of fire... that will be ablaze with Your light.

Amen.
That struck something in me.
Thanks for sharing that.
Shane,
I know that your desire is to honour and obey God in everything that you do. I am so happy that you have been accepted to Chiang Rai DTS next year.
You are full-on for Jesus and an inspiration! I believe that the DTS will give you a chance to find peace in knowing Jesus more and more, and learning about yourself.
Kate is correct in her comment - you are an adventurer. And a little bit of me embarks on that new adventure with you.
love,
