To Obey Is Better Than Sacrifice - 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 at 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 Sundays and Wednesday nights

'Cause if you can’t come to Me every day

Then don’t bother coming at all

La-la-la

La-la-la-la-la, la-la

La-la-la

La-la-la-la-la, la-la

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

According to what you have done
